To round off Jethro Tull’s 50th anniversary year, there will be a deluxe vinyl version released of their best-selling, multi-platinum, fourth studio album, Aqualung. Originally released in March 1971 the album has sold in excess of seven million copies worldwide achieving Top Ten status in the album charts in both the UK and US.
Originally recorded at Island Studios in Basing Street, London in December 1970 and February 1971. The line-up at the time of recording consisted of new bassist Jeffrey Hammond, who had replaced Glenn Cornick, John Evans who is now a full band member on keyboards and Ian Anderson and Martin Barre. It was also to be drummer Clive Bunker’s final swansong with the band.
The audio was remixed by critically acclaimed Steven Wilson in 2011 and the packaging will contain a 24-page booklet all housed in a hard card gatefold sleeve, available on November 30.
