Limited Edition Japanese paper sleeve pressing features the same eight bonus tracks that graces the UK and US reissues. The third in the 2005 Jethro Tull remasters comes complete with original and restored sonic detail along with the eight bonus tracks that were recorded at the same time as the original album release, but left out due to the limitations of vinyl. The Broadsword tour in 1982 saw Tull out on a full production tour for the final time, although smaller tours have since taken place, they have not featured the elaborate stage set that went with this one! This album featured the usual Tull sounds of drums, bass, and guitar and of course flute, mandolin and other acoustic instruments complete with vocoder and sequencer on The Clasp, and others. Broadsword saw former Cat Stevens drummer Gerry Conway join Tull for a couple of years and Dave Pegg (ex-Fairport Convention) join them for a second time. Much of the songs were written using the new-fangled electronic instruments which gives an interesting twist to the woodsy and folksy elements in the songs. In the wake of Punk and the dawning of the mannered art-school pop of the new wave of British bands, Broadsword did not fare well in the USA. It was, however their fastest-selling and biggest album in Germany and did well throughout Europe. But the music was some of our best and synths and gadgets aside, the brilliant guitar work of Le Barre and Anderson's acoustic additions saved the day. EMI. 2005.
