Jethro Tull's 1971 album is to launch in a 2CD, 2DVD collection in April

Jethro Tull’s fourth album Aqualung is to be released in a 2CD, 2DVD package on April 22.

This was the first Jethro Tull album remixed by Steven Wilson. It’s described as a more accessible version of the 40th anniversary edition, which came on LP and Blu-ray formats.

A post on Jethro Tull’s Facebook page says it features three additional songs available as 5.1 surround mixes – with tracks Life Is A Long Song and Up The Pool made available on CD form for the first time. It also includes a 40-page book.

Mainman Ian Anderson previously said of Aqualung: “It’s a very important Jethro Tull album and arguably the most successful selling single album by Jethro Tull. I think of it as being a singer/songwriter album with attitude.”

Last year Jethro Tull made an unreleased live version of the album available to stream with TeamRock.

The Aqualung box set can be pre-ordered via Amazon.
