Jethro Tull's first live album, 1978's Bursting Out (actually issued as Jethro Tull Live: Bursting Out) will be reissued in June as a 3CD+3xDVD deluxe set with the appropriate suffix 'The Inflated Edition'.
Originally recorded at various locations during the European Heavy Horses tour in May and June of 1978 on a portable 8-track tape recorder, Tull's own Ian Anderson transferred the recordings to two-inch multitrack. Years later, the recordings went through various stages of release, with some tracks omitted from US pressings until the complete album was released worldwide in 2004.
Now Steven Wilson has remixed the album in stereo and in 5.1 alongside a whole host of extras including soundchecks and the standalone Madison Square Garden show from '78.
The first two CDs are effectively the full gig (newly mixed) with soundcheck recordings, eight of which are previously unreleased (although technically all the SW stereo mixes are unreleased).
CD 3 is an edited version of the 1978 Madison Square Garden show, which is offered in full on the third DVD (more on that, shortly). This was released in 2009, but again this is a new Steven Wilson stereo mix.
The first two DVDs have the remixed tracks in 96/24 stereo and 5.1 surround, plus flat transfers of the original album at 96/24 stereo. The third DVD and final disc in this set offers 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. The audio is 48/24 stereo and 5.1 surround
This comes in the usual Tull packaging with a massively generous 96-page hardcover book. Ian Anderson has the following to say about this album: “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. Enjoy vintage Tull at its 70s best!”
