A 2021 vinyl edition of one of Jethro Tull’s most radical musical departures, A. Mixed by Steven Wilson

 

The album introduced a new sound and a new line-up including Dave Pegg and Eddie Jobson (who features prominently on keyboards and violin). 

 

Originally intended as a solo record by Ian Anderson, the album’s single-letter title refers to the studio tapes, which were marked “A” for Anderson. When the album was completed, the group’s label Chrysalis insisted that it be credited to Jethro Tull.
