Jethro Tull / Too Old to Rock N Roll: Too Young to Die! / 4-disc box

jethro_tooold

Next month Parlophone will release a four-disc expanded version Too Old To Rock’n’Roll: Too Young to Die! – the next in their series of Jethro Tull 40th anniversary sets.

This special edition of the 1976 album will contain new Steven Wilson stereo remixes on CD 1, although this is of the version of the album re-recorded for a TV Special. Only five multi-track master tapes for the actual album could be located and new stereo remixes of those tracks are also appended on the first disc.

The second CD consists of a complete flat transfer of the original stereo mix, and eight bonus tracks (seven of which are 2015 remixes). This bonus material includes two unheard songs: Salamander’s Ragtime (not related to album track Salamander), and Commercial Traveller. A third outtake Advertising Man was planned to be included but was not sufficiently complete to merit inclusion.

The first DVD features the TV special broadcast in full, (its commercial debut) and with the remixed soundtrack in high res stereo and 5.1 surround sound. The five album tracks included on CD 1 are here in 5.1 surround sound and high resolution stereo. The second DVD  features the bonus tracks in high res audio, four also in 5.1 surround sound, and flat transfers of the original stereo and quadraphonic mixes.

As with previous Jethro Tull deluxe editions, this is presented in a case-bound DVD bookset that includes an 80-page booklet with an extensive history of the album, track-by-track annotations by Ian Anderson, plus rare and unseen photographs.

Too Old To Rock’n’Roll: Too Young to Die! will be reissued on 27 November 2015.
