Jethro Tull’s War Child was the 7th album from the band, at that time featuring Ian Anderson, Martin Barre, John Evans, Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond and Barrie Barlow. It was originally devised as a double-LP set to accompany a film project, but when plans for the movie were scuttled, the band salvaged parts of its potential score as a ten-song, single-LP album. Other tracks were drawn from writing sessions for a never-released follow-up to 1972’s Thick as a Brick; another song dated as far back as the sessions for 1971’s Aqualung.
This new edition of WarChild is dubbed the 40th Anniversary Theatre Edition and includes on a second CD many orchestral pieces written for the film’s soundtrack, most of which are unissued until now. Alongside the orchestral pieces on the second disc set some ‘associated recordings’ from the original sessions.
