Ian Anderson
has been going through the
Jethro Tull
catalog and remastering their albums in chronological order.
He has made it up to one of the albums I have been waiting for the most:
Bursting Out.
Recorded on the
Heavy Horses
tour,
Bursting Out
captures Tull at their late seventies folk-rock peak,
(arguably an artistic peak but definitely a commercial peak).
It was a good time to be a fan of Jethro Tull.
Bursting Out
was a double LP when originally released.
When it came time for the CD, the album was too long to fit onto
a single CD so it was decided to keep the selling price low and
remove two songs.
I happened to really like those songs on the album so I never bought
the CD.
I never listened to the LP once I started buying CDs, either.
Now the album has been remastered and the missing songs are back.
No bonus tracks but I have plenty of live Tull tracks, so that is
not a problem.
Listen to
Sweet Dream
and
A New Day Yesterday
to hear what a good time it was to be a fan of Jethro Tull.
