Minstrel In The Gallery 40th Anniversary La Grande Édition (2CD/2DVD)
Jethro Tull notched its sixth gold record in 1975 with its eighth studio album, Minstrel In The Gallery. Its elaborate production is reminiscent of the band s 1972 classic Thick As a Brick and its songs rock as hard as anything in the band s vast and storied catalog.
Highlights from the set include:
- Original album and seven bonus tracks (six previously unreleased), two mixed to 5.1 surround, and all to stereo by Steven Wilson
- Flat transfers of the original LP mix at 96/24 (plus Summerday Sands )
- Flat transfer of the original quad mix of the LP (plus Summerday Sands )
- An eight-minute film of the band performing Minstrel In The Gallery in Paris from July 1975
- Presented in a case-bound DVD book that includes an 80-page booklet featuring an extensive history of the album, track-by-track annotations by Ian Anderson, recollections by roadie Kenny Wylie, Maison Rouge maintenance engineer Pete Smith, and string section member Liz Edwards, plus lyrics, tour itinerary, and rare and unseen photographs
