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, using Steven Wilsons remix of the album, will be released on 5th September.

That juxtaposition of acoustic and electric has been a feature of Jethro Tulls 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 Tulls originality.
