It would also mark the first time [[John Evan]] had recorded a full album with the band, as his only prior involvement was to provide several keyboard parts on the previous 1970 album, ''[[Benefit (album)|Benefit]]''. In December, the album became one of the first to be recorded at Island Records' newly-opened recording studios on Basing Street in London. [[Led Zeppelin]] did some recording for ''[[Led Zeppelin IV]]'' at the same time, though in the smaller of the two studios in the converted chapel.<ref name=theirtime>{{cite magazine|title=Classic Rock Presents Led Zeppelin: Their Time is Gonna Come |magazine=[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]] |year=2008 |page=24}}</ref> In an interview on the 25th anniversary edition of the album, Tull's bandleader [[Ian Anderson]] said that trying to record in the larger studio was very difficult, because of its "horrible, cold, echoey" feel.<ref name="Classic Rock Presents Prog"/> The orchestral segments were arranged by [[Dee Palmer]], who had worked with the band since 1968's ''[[This Was]]'', and would later join as a keyboard player. The master reels were assembled at [[Apple Studios (recording studio)|Apple Studios]] on 2 March 1971.
