[News] Jethro Tull announce the reissue of their live album “Bursting Out – The Inflated Edition” for June 2024

Jethro Tull announce a new reissue of their classic 1978 live album “Bursting Out” as the next release in the band’s ongoing box set reissues campaign. “Bursting Out: The Inflated Edition” will be released through Rhino Records in June 21.

“Bursting Out” was originally released in 1978, having been recorded at various locations during the European Heavy Horses tour in May and June 1978. According to Wikipedia, a spelling error on the spine of the first US, Canada, Spain and Sweden album pressings listed the title as Busting Out.

The new edition also includes a 96-page booklet with photos, an interview with Ian Anderson, about the making of “Bursting Out,” tour info and excerpts from crew members Kenny Wylie and David Morris.

“Bursting Out: The Inflated Edition” is a six-disc set comprising three CDs and three DVDs that feature a Steven Wilson stereo remix of the album, soundcheck recordings, an edited version of the 1978 Madison Square Garden Show which was issued in 2009 but now mixed by Steven Wilson, the album in 5.1 surround sound and the full 93-minute Madison Square Garden Show including 50+ minutes of video which was part of a transatlantic broadcast with the BBC and Radio 1 with audio is 48/24 stereo and 5.1 surround.

“A live extravaganza from the 70s Jethro Tull, this was recorded over several nights in different venues on a portable 8-track tape recorder and transferred to 2” multitrack when I got home after the tours,” says Ian Anderson. “I had to listen all through to many shows and pick the best live versions. But much of it was, at least, from the concert in Bern, Switzerland where dear Claude Nobs came to introduce the band in his inimitable style. Also featuring on this box set collection is the live concert from Madison Square Gardens recorded a few months later and shown live on BBC TV in the UK.

A scary experience for the band as it was, we were told, the first time a live rock concert had been the subject of a live satellite broadcast. The band lineup at this time was a fine-tuned machine and, although missing the unwell John Glascock for the MSG show, it serves as a fine testimony for the many wonderful shows we did in the 70s, before general touring fatigue and burn-out began a year or so later.“
