Crafted during a time of transition \u0026amp; uncertainty for Tull, the album signalled a deliberate step away from his band’s hallmark progressive rock style, instead exploring a more electronic, synth-driven sound.\u003cbr\u003e\nNow ‘Walk Into Light’ returns in a stunning half-speed remastered black vinyl edition, expertly carried out by Grammy-winning mastering engineer John Webber at AIR Studios in London with audio sourced from the original tapes. This new edition also features restored artwork \u0026amp; imagery, including photography by Martyn Goddard (The Who, Queen, AC\/DC) \u0026amp; art direction by graphic designer John Pasche (The Rolling Stones).\u003cbr\u003e\nBy the early 1980s, Jethro Tull had enjoyed more than a decade of success with landmark albums such as ‘Aqualung’, ‘Thick As A Brick’ \u0026amp; ‘Songs From The Wood’ but change was in the air. Their 1980 album ‘A’ - initially intended as an Anderson solo project - introduced a more synthesised sound \u0026amp; sparked a major lineup shift, with longtime members such as John Evan \u0026amp; Barriemore Barlow departing. The 1982 follow-up, ‘The Broadsword \u0026amp; The Beast’, continued blending folk-rock with electronic elements.\u003cbr\u003e\n‘Walk Into Light’, co-written \u0026amp; recorded with keyboardist Peter-John Vettese (also a Jethro Tull collaborator),\u003cbr\u003e\nleaned further into the emerging synth-pop style of the eighties. More introspective \u0026amp; personal in tone, tracks like “Fly By Night” \u0026amp; “Made In England” reflected Anderson’s growing fascination with modern life, technology \u0026amp; isolation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe album’s electronic textures would go on to influence Tull’s next release, ‘Under Wraps’ (1984) - the band’s most synth-heavy \u0026amp; polarising effort. In retrospect, ‘Walk Into Light’ served as a creative testing ground, setting\u003cbr\u003e\nthe stage for a new chapter in both Anderson’s solo career \u0026amp; Jethro Tull’s evolving sound. This single-sleeve, black vinyl LP edition of ‘Walk Into Light’ features audio that has been newly remastered at half-speed by John Webber at London’s Air Studios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLabel\u003cbr\u003e\nMadfish\u003cbr\u003e\nGenre\u003cbr\u003e\nPop \u0026amp; Rock LP - SIDE A\u003cbr\u003e\nFly By Night\u003cbr\u003e\nMade In England\u003cbr\u003e\nWalk Into Light\u003cbr\u003e\nTrains\u003cbr\u003e\nEnd Game\u003cbr\u003e\nLP - SIDE B\u003cbr\u003e\nBlack \u0026amp; White Television\u003cbr\u003e\nToad In The Hole\u003cbr\u003e\nLooking For Eden\u003cbr\u003e\nUser-friendly\u003cbr\u003e\nDifferent Germany\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOUTHBOUND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50025050112193,"sku":"SMALP1253","price":65.96,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6482\/1953\/files\/464497-Product-0-I-638955066603490231.jpg?v=1772413229","url":"https:\/\/techsupplyshed.co.nz\/products\/walk-into-light-vinyl-by-ian-anderson","provider":"TECH SUPPLY SHED","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
