Jethro Tull: War Child

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.

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.

Issued in a double pocket gatefold sleeve with a full-size 24-page booklet and a plain white, diamond cut, poly-lined inner sleeve. The 50th anniversary edition. Remixed to stereo by Steven Wilson. On 180gm heavyweight vinyl.

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.
