Jethro Tull celebrates the 50th anniversary of their eight studio album, Minstrel in the Gallery, with a new marbled vinyl. Originally released on 5th September 1975, the album saw the band going in a different direction from their previous work and returning to a blend of electric and acoustic songs. The new 1LP is using Steven Wilson's remix of the album.<br/><br/>That juxtaposition of acoustic and electric has been a feature of Jethro Tull's music throughout their career, but is perhaps never better exemplified than on Minstrel In The Gallery which, after earlier albums' tags of 'blues' and 'prog', is unequivocally a 'rock' album, albeit with a maturity and sophistication both lyrically and harmonically which highlighted Tull's originality.<br/><br/>It was the last album of theirs to feature bassist Jeffery Hammond. Minstrel in the Gallery was a top 20 album across the world and has since been certified gold in the US and Canada and silver in the UK.

The Great Escape turns 30 this year and to celebrate, this seminal album from one of Britain's most beloved bands will be available in a very special, brand new Half Speed Mastered Double-Disc Coloured Vinyl Edition.<br/> <br/>The Great Escape (30th Anniversary Edition) features the 15-track standard album (Disc One); as well as a collection of rare B-sides and bonus tracks (Disc Two) from the album era, several of which are previously unreleased on vinyl; available on yellow and turquoise vinyl and beautifully housed in a gatefold cover sleeve featuring all-new expanded artwork by artist and designer Tony Hung.
