Well hereâs a thing! Ian Anderson and co with Bruce Dickinson doing "Jeruselem" a whole different way. The studio version appears on BDâs The Chemical Wedding album which has a few other Blake inspired moments including the cover art (a very freaky miniature titled The Ghost of a Flea which gives me the creeps) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9OHDfSiZ1g

A song written for the British painter L S Lowry â Iâve never heard anything else by Brian and Michael - this seems to have been their one hit. As to Lowry, he turned down two OBEâs, a CBE, a knighthood and a CH (nothing to do with mad horses) making his secondary distinction, that of record holder for most honours declined.
