New Shoes for Jethro Tull's 'Heavy Horses' with 3CD/2DVD Edition in February

December 22, 2017 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

That 2018 release calendar is filling up nicely - and for Jethro Tull fans, there's a guaranteed treat in yet another remixed, expanded 40th anniversary edition release.

On February 3, Parlophone issues Heavy Horses: New Shoes Edition, a new 3CD/2DVD version of Jethro Tull's 11th album, originally released in 1978. As with previous releases, Steven Wilson and Jakko Jakszyk have undertaken new remixes in stereo and surround of both the original LP and a host of bonus material. Wilson remixed Heavy Horses and nine associated outtakes (seven of which have never been released in any mix), while Jakszyk remixed a 1978 concert in Bern, Switzerland recorded a month after the album's release. (At least some of this material is believed to have appeared on that same year's double live album, Bursting Out.) Two accompanying DVDs feature LPCM stereo (96/24 for the studio material and 48/24 for the live show) and 5.1 surround mixes of what's on the CD, plus early music videos for "Heavy Horses" and "Moths" and two vintage television spots.

Considered the second in a folk-rock trilogy of the band's that started with Songs From The Wood (1977) and closed with 1979's Stormwatch, Heavy Horses matched frontman Ian Anderson's lyrics about agrarian life and the modern world with a slightly more hard-driving musical soundtrack. Critics and fans alike found much to like in the album, which became their 10th consecutive Billboard Top 20 album (going gold in America, Canada and the U.K.); Rolling Stone said at the time that the band's folk leanings "has suited Jethro Tull wonderfully."

Packaged in the same book style as its predecessors, Heavy Horses: New Shoes Edition features a 96-page book of liner notes including lyrics, track-by-track notes by Anderson, interviews with Maddy Prior (who recorded her 1978 solo debut Woman In The Wings with the members of Jethro Tull) , Darryl Way (the Curved Air co-founder who played violin on Heavy Horses), and studio engineer Colin Leggett, and a band timeline that covers all recording and touring from January 1977 to November 1978.

Heavy Horses run free on February 3; pre-order your copy and check out the track list below!

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
