Recorded during the 1972 sessions at the Château d'Hérouville in France, these tracks were originally intended for a double album that was ultimately shelved. Many of the compositions were later reworked and appeared on A Passion Play and other releases. This collection provides a fascinating glimpse into a particularly experimental and ambitious phase of Jethro Tull’s creative output.
