Jethro Tull - A (A La Mode)

40th Anniversary  Edition 3CD & 3DVD Set!

1980 album and associated tracks, full 1980 L.A. Sports Arena concert & slipstream video!

All remixed by Steven Wilson in stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound!

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of Jethro Tull's most radical musical departures, the group releases a 3CD/3DVD casebound book deluxe edition of A.

The album introduced a different sound and a new lineup including Dave Pegg and Eddie Jobson (who features prominently on keyboards and violin).

Originally intended as a solo record by Ian Anderson, the album's single-letter title refers to the studio tapes, which were marked "A" for Anderson. When the album was completed, the group's label Chrysalis insisted that it be credited to Jethro Tull.

For this new collection, the album has been newly remixed by Steven Wilson and expanded, including a different take of the single "Working John, Working Joe," an extended version of "Crossfire" and the outtake "Coruisk."
