NewsJethro Tull / 50 For 50: three-disc set
Anniversary 3CD compilation • single disc CD and vinyl options
Parlophone will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jethro Tull with 50 for 50, an Ian Anderson curated ‘best of’ that, as the title suggests, includes 50 songs from the band’s rich back catalogue.
The 50-track selection includes everything you’d expect (and more) and features a pair of songs from the very last official studio album, 2003’s The Jethro Tull Christmas Album.
There will also be a single CD ‘highlights’ edition called 50th Anniversary Collection. This will be available on vinyl although that edition has even less tracks (10 versus the 15 on the CD). The single disc version is only £6.66 at the time of writing on Amazon UK, which isn’t bad at all, although if you spend another £8 you do get 35 more tracks.
Both CD sets are issued on 25 May, although the vinyl edition of 50th Anniversary Collection won’t be available until the end of August (no pre-orders for that, as yet).
