jethrotull.com/war-child-40th-anniversary-theatre-edition-coming-in-november/War Child 40th Anniversary Theatre Edition – Coming in November! The Band’s Ambitious 1974 Album Expanded With Unreleased Tracks And Orchestral Pieces Along With Rare Video Footage 2CD/2DVD, 1CD, Digital Download: November 24th Limited Edition Vinyl : January 13th In 1974, Jethro Tull announced plans for WarChild, a multi-faceted project that was to encompass a feature-length film, a soundtrack album, as well a new album from the band. In October of that year, Tull released a 10-song album that would climb to #2 in the U.S. and the top 15 in the U.K., but the film and accompanying soundtrack were shelved. To commemorate the 40-year anniversary of this ambitious experiment, Parlophone will revisit WarChild with several releases. WARCHILD: THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY THEATRE EDITION will be available as a limited edition 2-CD/2-DVD set on November 24th. Highlights from the set include: - Original album and bonus tracks (three previously unreleased), remixed in 5.1 surround and stereo by Steven Wilson - 10 orchestral pieces (nine previously unreleased) written for the film’s soundtrack, 4 of which are remixed in 5.1 surround and stereo by Steven Wilson - Flat transfers of the original LP mix at 96/24, and the quadrophonic version (with 2 bonus tracks) in 4.0. - “The Third Hoorah” promo footage, and footage from a January 1974 photo session/press conference where the WarChild project was announced. - An 80-page booklet featuring an extensive article on the preparation and recording of the album, a film script synopsis, track-by-track annotations by Ian Anderson, plus rare and unseen photographs. In addition a new stereo remix of WarChild will also be released on single CD and digitally on November 17th. Originally released in 1974, WarChild features one of the group’s most prolific lineups and includes Ian Anderson, Martin Barre, John Evans, Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond and Barrie Barlow. Unlike its predecessors – Thick As A Brick and A Passion Play – which featured 40-odd minutes of continuous music, WarChild marked a return to songs of a more conventional length, including the FM-radio staple, “Bungle In The Jungle.” The new Theatre Edition unearths a trio of unreleased recordings: “Tomorrow Was Today,” “Good Godmother,” and a different arrangement of “WarChild” recorded after the version on the final album. Fans intrigued by the appearance of “WarChild Waltz” on the 2002 reissue of WarChild will finally get the chance to hear the rest of the mostly orchestral music the band recorded for the soundtrack album. About 30 minutes was recorded during sessions in 1973 and 1974. Soon after, the music was consigned to the archives for 40 years – until now.

It's a compulsion.
In other news, I played Warchild on the way to school today. WOW. Much better than I remebered - it seems as though it was still constructed as a conceptual piece of sorts like TAAB and APP. The difference being there are pauses in between tracks instead of segues. Every track seems to have a purpose and the flow is quite good. Maybe these highly publicized reissues will give the listening public to finally give these Tull records their proper appraisal?
Another observation - is there ANYTHING in the Tull canon quite like the title track? The melodies and chords are very un-Tull like. It's a very brave way to open the record, IMO. Of course I love it ...

I may just wait for Ken Golden to get it at LaserCD.com - he tends to get these things out a little before the release date.

The package includes a new mix by Steven Wilson plus music and a script synopsis from the abandoned film which was intended to accompany the original release in 1974. The movie, which was set in the afterlife and said to star Leonard Rossiter, with John Cleese hired as “humour consultant,” was shelved after the band failed to secure funding. Instead, War Child was released as a standard 10-track album. The anniversary edition includes 11 “associated recordings,” with _Good Godmothe_r, _War Child II _and Tomorrow Was Today previously unreleased. A set of 10 orchestral soundtrack pieces is also featured, of which only one has been previously released – a track entitled War Child Waltz appeared on the 2002 reissue. Along with Wilson’s 5.1 and stereo mixes, the original mix and original promo footage is an 80-page booklet including the synopsis and detailed sleeve notes by Tull mainman Ian Anderson. War Child: The 40th Anniversary Theatre Edition is released as a 2CD/2DVD set on November 17, while the new stereo mix will be launched on CD the same day. A limited-edition 180g vinyl pressing follows on January 13. Tracklist Disc One 1. WarChild 2. Queen and Country 3. Ladies 4. Back-door Angels 5. SeaLion 6.

kixi.com/deluxe-40th-anniversary-edition-of-jethro-tulls-warchild-arriving-in-november/Deluxe, 40th Anniversary Edition of Jethro Tull's "WarChild" Arriving in November ParlophoneAn expanded four-disc version of Jethro Tull's WarChild commemorating the 1974 album's 40th anniversary will be released on November 24. Warchild: The 40th Anniversary Theatre Edition will include a remastered version of the original album, a variety of bonus recordings, DVD-Audio of the entire album and extra tracks, and some archival video footage. WarChild originally was envisioned as a multimedia project encompassing a feature film, a soundtrack record and a studio album, but the famed British prog-rock group eventually abandoned plans for the movie and soundtrack. Released in October 1974, the WarChild album climbed to #2 on the Billboard 200 and yielded one of the band's biggest U.S. singles, the #12 hit "Bungle in the Jungle." Other memorable tunes from the record include the title track, "SeaLion" and "Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day." The expanded WarChild contains two CDs and two DVDs. The second CD offers 11 bonus songs from the album sessions and 11 orchestral pieces originally intended for the movie soundtrack, many of which are previously unreleased. As for the DVD content, in addition to the high-def versions of the various audio recordings, there's a promo video for the song "The Third Hoorah," as well as clips from a Jethro Tull press conference and photo session held in January of '74. Remastered single-CD and digital download versions of Warchild also will be released on November 24, while a limited-edition 180-gram vinyl LP will hit stores on January 13, 2015. Here's the full track listing of the CDs included in Warchild: The 40th Anniversary Theatre Edition: Disc One "WarChild" "Queen and Country" "Ladies" "Back-door Angels" "SeaLion" "Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day" "Bungle in the Jungle" "Only Solitaire" "The Third Hoorah" "Two Fingers" Disc Two - The Second Act: Associated Recordings "Paradise Steakhouse" "Saturation" "Good Godmother"* "SeaLion II" "Quartet" "WarChild II"* "Tomorrow Was Today"* "Glory Row" "March, The Mad Scientist" "Rainbow Blues" "Pan Dance" WarChild Orchestral Recordings "The Orchestral WarChild Theme"* "The Third Hoorah" (Orchestral Version)* "Mime Sequence"* "Field Dance" (Conway Hall Version)* "Waltz of the Angels" (Conway Hall Version) "The Beach (Part I)" (Morgan Master Recording)* "The Beach (Part II)" (Morgan Master Recording)* "Waltz of the Angels" (Morgan Demo Recording)* "The Beach" (Morgan Demo Recording)* "Field Dance" (Morgan Demo Recording)* * = previously unreleased.

stevenwilsonhq.com/sw/jethro-tull-war-child-40th-anniversary-remix/StevenWilsonHQ.com Jethro Tull ‘War Child’ 40th anniversary remix
Posted on September 29, 2014 in News Released on 24th November is a deluxe 2CD/2DVD edition of the 1974 Jethro Tull album “War Child”. Originally planned as a large scale film and album project, Tull recorded over 20 songs for the project as well as several orchestral pieces intended for the film soundtrack. Eventually the film project was shelved and the resulting album featured a relatively modest 10 tracks. But now “War Child – The 40th Anniversary Theatre Edition” brings together all of the music recorded during the period. A total of 25 tracks have been remixed into stereo and 5.1 surround sound, including 4 of the orchestral pieces. The original 1974 mix is represented by a flat transfer of the album, 6 further orchestral tracks, and a quadrophonic mix of the album. Full track listing and pre-order info at Burning Shed.

dmme.net/jethro-tulls-warchild-up-for-expansion/JETHRO TULL’s “WarChild” up for expansion JETHRO TULL - WarChild - 40th Anniversary Theatre Edition Not the best of JETHRO TULL‘s albums, 1974’s “WarChild” fared much better than its predecessor “A Passion Play” whose expanded version saw the light of day earlier in the year. And now its follow-up, also with a cinematic bend, is also to receive such a treatment. Out on November 26th, it’s going to be a “40th Anniversary Theatre Edition”that attempts to restore the classic to its original double-LP soundtrack intent, although neither film based on Ian Anderson‘s script nor a two-platter was realized. Still, there were more recordings than ones that made the cut, some having appeared on TULL’s rarities collections like “Nightcap” and some having remained in the vaults – together with the band’s orchestral pieces destined for the movie – until now. Now, everything recorded in 1974, including the album’s title track’s alternative version laid down after one on the LP, will be part of 2CD/2DVD collector’s pack augmented with an 80-page booklet. The original album, though, is to appear on a DVD only, while the first CD here is a remix by Steven Wilson, so the 2002’s remastered version doesn’t become obsolete. The price seems reasonable, too. Disc One – The Original Album’s Remix: 1. WarChild 2. Queen and Country 3. Ladies 4. Back-door Angels 5. SeaLion 6. Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day 7. Bungle in the Jungle 8. Only Solitaire 9. The Third Hoorah 10. Two Fingers Disc Two – The Second Act – Associated Recordings: 1. Paradise Steakhouse 2. Saturation 3. Good Godmother* 4. SeaLion II 5. Quartet 6. WarChild II* 7. Tomorrow Was Today* 8. Glory Row 9. March, The Mad Scientist 10. Rainbow Blues 11. Pan Dance WarChild Orchestral Recordings: 12. The Orchestral WarChild Theme * 13. The Third Hoorah (orchestral version) * 14. Mime Sequence * 15. Field Dance (Conway Hall version) * 16. Waltz Of The Angels (Conway Hall version) 17. The Beach (Part I) (Morgan master) * 18. The Beach (Part II) (Morgan master) * 19. Waltz Of The Angels (Morgan demo) * 20. The Beach (Morgan demo) * 21. Field Dance (Morgan demo) * * previously unreleased DVD 1 – Audio & Video: * “WarChild” remixed to 5.1 DTS and AC3 Dolby Digital surround sound and 96/24 PCM stereo * a flat transfer from the original 1974 LP master at 96/24 PCM stereo * a flat transfer of the original 1974 Quad LP (with “Glory Row” and “March, The Mad Scientist”) at 5.1 (4.0) DTS and AC3 Dolby Digital surround sound * video clips of a Montreux photosession and press conference on 11.1.1974 and “The Third Hoorah” promo with remixed stereo DVD 2 – Audio: * 11 recordings from the “WarChild” sessions and later, including 3 previously unreleased tracks, and 4 orchestral recordings mixed to 5.1 DTS and AC3 Dolby Digital surround sound and 96/24 PCM stereo * 6 orchestral recordings (5 previously unreleased) mixed by Robin Black in 1974, now in 96/24 PCM stereo

A bit of chat going on over at Facebook about Pan's Peoples's appearance with Tull at the London Rainbow gigs, a few misconceptions put right, but one poster there added this nice link to the PP page with a few relevant posts. There will be more in the upcoming Warchild release and hopefully a longer piece on the girls and their involvement in those gigs and more as part of a JTG piece in the (near) future. www.panspeople.com/?q=node/573
