NewsJethro Tull / Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition
5CD+blu-ray set includes two albums
Quick pre-order at the SDE shop • Stereo and Immersive remixes of Under Wraps and Ian Anderson’s Walk Into Light • Unreleased live recordings
Jethro Tull have announced the latest in their series of super deluxe edition sets – a 5CD+BR edition of their 15th studio album, 1984’s Under Wraps, due in May.
Under Wraps threw Tull fans a curveball on release with its embrace of the electronic sounds of the day and synthetic production. It was also the first Tull album since This Was that wasn’t mostly written by Anderson alone, with keyboardist Peter-John Vettese credited on seven of the songs. But for fans who’d heard Anderson’s first solo album, Walk Into Light (which featured five Vettese co-writes), the synth textures of Under Wraps felt like a natural progression. Meanwhile, Ian Anderson’s lyrics reflected his fascination with Cold war spy novels, rooting the songs firmly in the early ’80s.
Under Wraps and Walk Into Light have been revamped for the new edition, with two sets of stereo remixes by Bruce Soord that use more natural, traditional ‘2026’ drums and the original drum sounds, plus The contents of the new edition are
- CD1: Under Wraps (2026 drums), remixed by Bruce Soord, plus bonus songs including three previously unreleased tracks
- CD2: Under Wraps (with original drums), remixed by Bruce Soord, plus bonuses with original drums and ‘Under Wraps Intro’
- CD3: Walk Into Light (2026 drums) remixed by Bruce Soord plus bonuses with 2026 drums including five previously unreleased tracks
- CD4: Walk Into Light (with original drums), remixed by Bruce Soord, plus bonus tracks
- CD5: 13 remastered tracks from the Tull’s 9 September 1984 Hammersmith Odeon gig
- Blu-Ray: The contents of CDs 1-4 in Atmos, 5.1 and stereo plus ‘Lap Of Luxury’ promo video and a tour rehearsal video.
Like previous Tull sets in the series, it’s well-priced considering the content, though fans might be dismayed to see that the whole 24-track set from the Hammersmith gig isn’t included. The ‘2026 drums’ editions of both Under Wraps and Walk Into Light will also be released as standalone single LPs.
Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition is out on 15 May 2026 via Parlophone. Pre-order from the SDE shop using this link or the button below.
