Best Reissues Of 2024: 10 Of The Year’s Most Essential Releases - Dig!
6: Jethro Tull: ‘The Chateau D’Hérouville Sessions 1972’ (2LP black vinyl)
Having established themselves as one of rock’s premier acts with 1971’s Aqualung and the following year’s US chart-topping Thick As A Brick, Jethro Tull decamped to the Château D’Hérouville studio near Paris, France, with the intention of recording a new double album. After a series of setbacks, including equipment malfunctions and severe cases of food poisoning, they gave up on the sessions and returned to the UK, where they wrote and recorded what would become 1973’s A Passion Play.
Nonetheless, as The Chateau D’Herouville Sessions 1972 reveals, Tull did successfully record a mound of highly promising material during their French sojourn. For years known as the band’s “great lost album”, the material was eventually released in 2013, after receiving a Steven Wilson audio makeover as part of the A Passion Play: An Extended Performance collection. It now makes its overdue vinyl debut.
Must hear: Sailor

The first part of Sailor, before the band comes in, always stood out to me as one of the Tull moments when you can really hear the influence Roy Harper had on Ian Anderson, both with vocal and acoustic guitar techniques. I'm not well versed with Harper's full discography, but I'm quite fond of the album Stormcock, and I think most Tull fans would appreciate it. Even the name "Stormcock" sounds like one Ian might have wished he had thought of first!
Nice time to repeat...
more talk of Tull, eh
“Steven [Wilson] played me a late Jethro Tull record, Stormwatch, that I didn’t have,” Åkerfeldt tells us in a velvety, very Swedish accent, over beers just round the corner from Prog HQ. “He was like, ‘Have you heard this record? There’s a song you have to hear – it’s called Dun Ringill.’ It’s late-70s Jethro Tull. I generally have a limit around ’75, ’76, because production went downhill after that. But that record made me want to write a song with a capo, up high on the fretboard, because it brings a nice ‘ringy’ sound to the guitar.”

Great tune. Dun Ringill is a favourite of Steven Wilson. Reason enough for him to remix Tull to 5.1Cheers
It's high up there for me. So is To Cry You a Song and Part of the Machine, but I had to make cuts. I have to go through @JohnN 's list more closely. There's some really deep tracks there.I see no love in these lists for With You There To Help Me.
