Out Now: Jethro Tull, THIS WAS
As you probably already know (and if you don’t, it’s certainly not because we haven’t mentioned it), 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the very first Jethro Tull show…or at least the very first show by the band after formally changing their name to Jethro Tull, anyway. But let’s set those semantics aside and focus on the fact that we’re continuing our celebration of the band hitting the big 5-0 by releasing a 50th anniversary edition of their debut album, THIS WAS.
What can you find within this 3-CD / 1-CD set? Glad you asked!
Here’s what you get:
- Original album and bonus tracks remixed in stereo by Steven Wilson
- Live BBC sessions recorded in 1968
- Original mono mix and original 1968 U.K. stereo mix
- Original album and bonus tracks remixed by Steven Wilson in 4.1 DTS and AC3
Dolby Digital surround and 96/24 LPCM stereo
- Flat transfer of the 1968 stereo remix
- Presented in a case-bound DVD book filled with an extensive history of the album,
track-by-track annotations by Ian Anderson, plus rare and unseen photographs
If you’re a fan, then you won’t be able to resist picking up a copy…or if you can’t afford to do so at the moment, it’s certainly destined to sit atop your holiday wish list.
Here’s the full track listing for your reading enjoyment, and please, for the sake of your operating system, don’t drool on the keyboard…
