Jethro Tull – The Broadsword and the Beast (40th Anniversary Monster Edition) (2023) Box-Set 5 CD

JETHRO TULL early Eighties album, 1982’s album ‘Broadsword And The Beast’ is being reissued in a 5CD+3DVD ‘Monster Edition’ including a new Steven Wilson stereo mix of the album, plus a host of associated recordings / early 1981 Sessions, also newly mixed by Wilson (CDs 1 & 2).

The third disc offers demos, master mixes, rough mixes and more, while CDs 4 & 5 deliver a live set from Germany performed in 1982 in a superb Stereo Remix by Wilson as well.
If you aren’t fan of JETHRO TULL and never heard this album, you better grab “The Broadsword And The Beast [The 40th Anniversary Monster Edition]“, as this record has a real ’80s feeling.
It has that trademark folk-influenced style that Jethro Tull used in the previous decade, but crossed with the dominant synthesizer sound of the Eighties. In fact, “The Broadsword And The Beast [The 40th Anniversary Monster Edition]” contains some of Jethro Tull’s best music – and founder Ian Anderson agreed.
By the way, the Steven Wilson stereo mixes are stupendous…
