Jethro Tull - Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition (5CD & Blu-Ray)

In 1984, Jethro Tull embraced the technological advances of the 1980s to make a record with the then height of technology, augmenting their sound with synthesizer and drum machines. Ian Anderson released his debut solo album Walk Into Light the previous year. Now both albums have been extensively remixed by Bruce Soord, using the original drums sounds, plus more natural, traditional drums.
