Jethro Tull Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition brings together two of Ian Anderson's most ambitious and fearless albums — 1984's Under Wraps, a Jethro Tull album, and his debut solo album Walk into Light released in 1983.

These two albums hold significant importance in Ian Anderson's vast body of work, marking a notable shift from Jethro Tull's established sound. Already recognized as one of his generation's most innovative songwriters, Anderson embraced cutting edge technology, integrating synthesizers and drum machines. This was a considerable move away from the band's traditional folk roots and illustrated their ability to adapt to the evolving musical landscape.

This comprehensive 5CD & Blu-Ray set has been overseen by Ian Anderson and includes both original albums extensively remixed twice by The Pineapple Thief's Bruce Soord — '2026 Drums' and 'Original Drums' remixes. These discs also include associated recordings from that period. The fifth CD is a live recording from a BBC Radio 1 concert at The Hammersmith Odeon in 1984 and the Blu-Ray contains stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes, along with promo videos from the era. The set comes complete with a 100-page book offering an extensive article on the making of the records.

Under Wraps is perhaps one of Jethro Tull's most misunderstood albums, where the band fully embraced the electronic and synth-pop sounds of the '80s focusing heavily on keyboards, drum machines, and a polished, synthetic production. Once reflecting on this period, Anderson said "We wanted to do something completely different with 'Under Wraps'. It was about exploring the technology of the time and seeing how far we could push our sound into new territories. It was an experiment, and not everyone was ready for that kind of change from Jethro Tull."

Tracks like "Lap of Luxury" show Anderson's attempt to fuse his lyrical storytelling with the cold, often detached soundscapes of the era, creating a unique, if divisive, chapter in their discography.The album has grown to be appreciated for its bold experimentation, showcasing Anderson's willingness to risk the band's established identity for artistic exploration.

Walk into Light combines sophisticated, cutting-edge electro-pop songs with typically pointed and uncompromising sociological lyrical observations. This album was a brave reinvention of an established identity — made in conjunction with keyboardist Peter-John Vetesse — the album reflected Anderson's growing fascination with modern life, technology, and isolation.
