Jethro Tull, the British prog rock icons, are putting out a reissue of their 1984 album “Under Wraps” on Chrysalis Records on May 15. The reissue is expanded, remastered and goes by the name “Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition”.
The new six-disc set brings together the band’s 1984 studio album “Under Wraps” and the 1983 solo debut from the band’s one and only mastermind Ian Anderson, “Walk Into Light”. Stylistically, you could call them musical twins.
This giant box, with 5 CDs and a Blu-ray, was put together under Ian Anderson’s watchful eye. It includes both original albums! Bruce Soord of The Pineapple Thief handled the remastering. The discs also pack in recordings from the period when the albums were made, and the fifth CD is a live recording for BBC Radio 1 at The Hammersmith Odeon in 1984. The Blu-ray has stereo and DOLBY ATMOS mixes, along with promo videos from back then. The set is rounded off by a 100-page book with an in-depth essay on how the two albums came to be.
You can already pre-order the “Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition” box.
