Jethro Tull‘s delayed War Child II, originally slated for a release in early January 2022, will now be released on vinyl for the very first time, through Parlophone Records on November 24
War Child II is a companion release to 1974’s War Child album, which features a selection of Steven Wilson remixes previously unavailable on vinyl. The tracks were recorded during the WarChild sessions from 1973-1974 and originally featured on on 2014’s War Child 40th Anniversary Theatre Edition.
“The big one on that was Bungle In The Jungle, which is a complete rebuild of a song from the Château tapes,” Ian Anderson told Prog of the original album. “Very much rewritten, but it used the reference of people behaving like they’re animals in the jungle. It was written to be a radio hit, and in America it nailed it – we got AM radio play, which opened us up to a much wider audience and brought a lot more people into the concerts. It had its moment. Ritchie Blackmore has a soft spot for that album, for some reason.”
