Jethro Tull Celebrating Minstrel In The Gallery Anniversary With Reissue

. (Classic Rock) Jethro Tull will reissue their 1975 album Minstrel In The Gallery to mark its 40th anniversary. The La Grande edition launches on May 4 via Parlophone and features rare and previously unreleased tracks including new mixes by Steven Wilson.

It will be released on 2CD and 2DVD and is the latest remaster from the band's back catalogue following last year's War Child reissue. Along with the bonus tracks, the album comes bundled with an 80-page booklet featuring track-by-track annotations by mainman Ian Anderson, a history of the group and recollections of life on tour by road crew member Kenny Wylie, maintenance engineer Pete Smith and string section musician Liz Edwards.

The limited-edition package also features lyrics, tour itinerary and rare and previously unpublished pictures. The second disc is a live performance recorded in Paris in July 1975 where the band showcased tracks from the album ahead of its launch. In addition, the album comes with a short film of the group playing the record's title track at the same concert. Read more here.
