Info for Too Old To Rock 'N' Roll: Too Young To Die! (Special Version - Remastered)

Die Progressive Rock-Legende Jethro Tull präsentiert den unvergessenen 1976er Fernsehshow- Soundtrack 'Too old to Rock'n'Roll: Too young to die!' in einer von Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree, No-Man etc) arrangierten Stereo Mix-Version und spendiert dem Release noch 5 originale LP-Tracks (Monte Carlo - Januar 1976/Brüssel - November 1975) dazu.

Es war ein ambitioniertes Projekt: 1975 nahmen sich Jethro Tull vor, mit 'Too Old To Rock’n’Roll: Too Young To Die!' nicht nur ein neues Album, sondern zugleich ein Musical über einen alternden Rockstar zu schreiben. Es kam leider nie dazu: Noch während der Aufnahmen entschied sich die Band, die Musical-Idee fallen zu lassen und das Material als Grundlage für ihr neuntes Studioalbum zu nutzen. Im Jahr 2016 wird 'Too Old To Rock’n’Roll – Too Young To Die!' sein 40. Jubiläum feiern und erscheint nun mit bisher unveröffentlichtem Bonusmaterial.

Jethro Tull
formed in February 1968 from the ashes of two unsuccessful blues/rock bands of the era. Ian Anderson brought his unique and innovative style of flute playing to a public raised on the guitar based British bands who courted acceptance at London’s famous Marquee Club.

After their first tentative blues oriented album, titled “This Was,” the group moved through successive records towards a more progressive sound, and with “Aqualung” in 1971 achieved their first real international level of success.

A few hit singles, notably “Living in the Past,” livened up their early career although it was as an album band, with songs of real substance, that the group really took off, both on record and as a major live concert act.

So-called concept albums followed in the early 70’s (“Thick as a Brick” and “A Passion Play”) with the attendant platinum No. 1 album chart sales.

Tull survived the critical backlash of the return-to-basics later 70’s to produce some of their finest creative efforts which, although not quite matching the commercial success of the previous works, established the band as one of the truly creative exponents of progressive music throughout the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.

They have continued to constantly reinvent themselves, albeit with several personnel changes along the way.

Ian Anderson (flute and vocals) and Martin Barre (guitar) provide to this day the musical and historical backbone of the group, joined by Doane Perry on drums, Andrew Giddings on keyboards, and Jonathan Noyce on bass.

This album contains no booklet.
