Jethro Tull - The Jethro Tull Christmas Album

Jethro Tull — The Jethro Tull Christmas Album (2024 Remix)

Jethro Tull's 2003 Christmas album has been remixed and expanded for a reissue in early December 2024. The Jethro Tull Christmas Album, now has the subtitle "Fresh Snow At Christmas." Available here on double vinyl LP.

The album includes new interpretations of seven Tull songs, including 1968's A Christmas Song. (the B-side of the single, "Love Story"). This festive offering was also the last studio set to feature longtime guitarist Martin Barre, who composed the closing instrumental "A Winter Snowscape."

"Some of the tracks are not necessarily Christmas songs; they're more seasonal so that gives a broader window," says Ian Anderson. "And then there are a couple of them that I quite often play in the middle of summer and say, ‘It'll soon be Christmas — it's in the diary. So let's kick it off now.' And that's part of what I've done over the years since October of 1968 when I went into record 'A Christmas Song.' So, yes - it goes back a long way."

The 2LP set features the new stereo remix of The Jethro Tull Christmas Album and marks the debut of this album on vinyl.
