The String Quartets is an album by Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson and the Carducci Quartet featuring the classic songs of Jethro Tull, arranged and orchestrated by John O'Hara. Ian plays flute on most of the tracks and even sings a few lines here and there to provide his trademark sounds in the context of classical music traditions. Recorded in the crypt of Worcester Cathedral, UK and in St Kenelm's Church, Sapperton, Gloucestershire, UK, Ian says that this album is "Perfect for lazy, long sunny afternoons, crisp winter nights, weddings and funerals".

Analogue Productions presents another classic title on Hybrid Stereo SACD - Jethro Tull's multi-platinum-selling smash Aqualung. Originally released in March 1971, the album has sold in excess of 7 million copies worldwide, achieving Top Ten chart status in both the U.K. and U.S.. Aqualung's success signaled a turning point in the band's career, making Jethro Tull a major radio and touring act.Recorded at Island Records' studio in London, it was their first album with John Evan as a full-time member, their first with new bassist Jeffrey Hammond, and last album featuring Clive Bunker on drums. Aqualung is regarded, despite the band's disagreement, as a concept album featuring a central theme of 'the distinction between religion and God.' Something of a departure from the band's previous work, the album features more acoustic material than previous releases; and-inspired by photographs of homeless people on the Thames Embankment taken by singer Ian Anderson's wife Jennie-contains a number of recurring themes, addressing religion along with Anderson's own personal experiences.Jethro Tull's multi-platinum-selling smash on Hybrid Stereo SACD!Remastered by Chris Bellman from the original master tapes.

Jethro Tull's concept album about an aging rocker is expanded for 2-disc set that features unreleased music and footage recorded for a British TV Special. Remixed by Steven Wilson. In addition, flat transfer of the original album included.

Britain’s Jethro Tull sowed the seeds that would become its flowering brand of progressive rock three albums into their career. Their third album, "Benefit", is a welcome transition away from the blues-rock that characterized their earlier material. This 40th anniversary special edition was remixed and remastered by Steven Wilson.

2018 marks 50 years since progressive folk-rock band Jethro Tull jumped onto the British music scene. This 40th anniversary edition of "Heavy Horses" features the new remix, plus additional studio recordings, done by Steven Wilson; a flat transferred original album, plus live concert from May 1978 and an extensive new booklet.

The name of the album comes from "Rock Flute" as the original idea was to make an album of mostly instrumental flute music. But eventually Ian Anderson stated that he was drawn to the phrase Ragnarök with "rök" meaning destiny, course, or direction. Ian Anderson would then change "Flute" to "Flöte" to "keep with the spelling". The legendary Jethro Tull return hot on the heels of 2022's UK & German top 10 album 'The Zealot Gene', with their 23rd studio album 'RökFlöte'. Twelve tracks reminding the world of the iconic sound that the legendary band brought to rock music, recorded with the current Tull line-up of Ian Anderson, David Goodier, John O'Hara, Scott Hammond & Joe Parrish James.

Jethro Tull's classic 1972 concept album, newly remixed and remastered by Steven Wilson. The album contains a continuous piece of music, split over two sides of an LP record, and is a parody of the concept album genre. The original packaging, designed like a newspaper, claims the album to be a musical adaptation of an epic poem by fictional eight-year-old genius Gerald Bostock, though the lyrics were actually written by the band's frontman, Ian Anderson.

This new expanded edition of "A Passion Play" includes the original album and earlier Château d'Hérouville Sessions both of which have been mixed to new stereo mixes by Steven Wilson. The reissue also includes a flat transfer from the Original 1973's master.

The Zealot Gene is the 22nd studio album by the British rock band Jethro Tull, released on 28 January 2022 by Inside Out Music. Nearly five years in production, it is their first studio album since The Jethro Tull Christmas Album (2003), and their first of all original material since J-Tull Dot Com (1999), marking the longest gap between the band's studio albums…

The new concept album from Jethro Tull frontman. For "Homo Erraticus" Anderson is reunited with Bostock, using lyrics written by Gerald based on an old historical manuscript. The manuscript examines key events from throughout British history before going on to offer a number of prophecies for the future. Suitably dramatised and exaggerated by Bostock as metaphors for modern life, he presented Anderson with ideas for 14 songs, which have now been set to music. The result is "Homo Erraticus".

When Jethro Tull released "Benefit" in 1970, it signaled a new, more progressive musical direction for the English band. It also became one of the best-known albums of their career, which is going strong more 60 million records and 40 years later. The Grammy winning group is revisiting that pivotal album with a Collector's edition, newly re-mixed by Steven Wilson. It comes with a DVD disc with Surround Sound Mix, plus UK and USA running orders and more.

Jethro Tull originally released "Stormwatch" in September 1979, completing a folk-rock trilogy the band started with "Songs from the Wood" in 1977 and continued the following year with "Heavy Horses". Certified gold in the U.S., "Stormwatch" was also the final album to feature the classic late-1970s Jethro Tull lineup, which included Ian Anderson, Martin Barre, John Glascock, John Evan, David (now Dee) Palmer and Barriemore Barlow. To celebrate the album's upcoming anniversary, Rhino released "Stormwatch: The 40th Anniversary Force 10 Edition". This collection expands the legendary group's album with Steven Wilson's newly remixed version of the original, plus early versions & studio outtakes, and the new Multichannel remix with the disc of bonus material.

The leap from 1970's Benefit to the following year's Aqualung is one of the most astonishing progressions in rock history. In the space of one album, Tull went from relatively unassuming electrified folk-rock to larger-than-life conceptual rock full of sophisticated compositions and complex, intellectual, lyrical constructs…
