Under Wraps threw Jethro Tull fans a curveball on release with its embrace of the electronic sounds of the day and synthetic production. It was also the first Tull album since This Was that wasn’t mostly written by Anderson alone, with keyboardist Peter-John Vettese credited on seven of the songs. But for fans who’d heard Anderson’s first solo album, Walk Into Light (which featured five Vettese co-writes), the synth textures of Under Wraps felt like a natural progression. Meanwhile, Ian Anderson’s lyrics reflected his fascination with Cold war spy novels, rooting the songs firmly in the early ’80s. Under Wraps and Walk Into Light have been revamped for the new edition, with two sets of stereo remixes by Bruce Soord that use more natural, traditional ‘2026’ drums and the original drum sounds
