UNDER WRAPS

Description

In the mid-1980s, Jethro Tull explored new sonic frontiers by integrating synthesizers and drum machines, marking a bold turning point in their career, while Ian Anderson simultaneously released his solo album Walk Into Light. Today, this major period in the band's career is revisited through an in-depth remixing effort by Bruce Soord, offering both versions with original drum tracks and enhanced, more natural takes, for a faithful yet resolutely modernized reinterpretation. The deluxe 5CD + Blu-ray box set: complete albums, unreleased recordings from 1983-1984, alternative versions, as well as the BBC concert Live At The Hammersmith Odeon 1984. The Blu-ray offers an immersive high-resolution audio experience, including stereo, 5.1, and Dolby Atmos, complemented by promotional videos. The set is enhanced by a 100-page book, making this edition an essential collector's item for progressive rock enthusiasts. In parallel, Under Wraps: 2026 Drums allows listeners to rediscover the album in a more accessible format, thanks to a remix highlighting a renewed approach to drum parts for a more organic and contemporary listening experience. Iconic tracks such as Lap of Luxury, European Legacy, and Radio Free Moscow thus gain a new dimension while respecting the original essence of the work. Offered in a 1LP vinyl format, this album is the ideal complement to the deluxe box set for fans wishing to rediscover this pivotal period of Jethro Tull.
