SEVEN ALBUMS EXPLORING THE SOLO WORK OF THE LEGENDARY JETHRO TULL FRONTMAN. 7CD DELUXE 96-PAGE HARDBACK BOOK EDITION. INCLUDES LIVE COLLECTION ‘ROAMING IN THE GLOAMING’.

Across more than five decades at the helm of Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson has cultivated one of British music’s most distinctive voices, bringing together progressive rock, folk & classical influences with an unmistakable lyrical wit. His solo recordings offer a parallel journey: a space to explore different musical settings, instrumental combinations & approaches to songwriting.

Originally released as a 10LP collection in 2024, ‘8314 Boxed’ now arrives on Madfish as a 7CD 96-page hardback book edition. Bringing together six studio albums spanning 1983–2014 alongside the live collection ‘Roaming In The Gloaming’, the set traces three decades of Anderson’s restless musical curiosity.

The electronic textures of ‘Walk Into Light’ introduce a catalogue that moves readily between intimate songwriting & expansive composition. ‘Divinities: Twelve Dances with God’ places Anderson’s flute at the centre of an instrumental suite, while ‘The Secret Language Of Birds’ & ‘Rupi’s Dance’ reveal the finely observed characters, acoustic detail & melodic warmth of his smaller-scale work.

With ‘Thick As a Brick 2’, Anderson returns to the story of Gerald Bostock, extending one of his most celebrated creations into a new century. ‘Homo Erraticus’ follows with an ambitious exploration of history, myth & identity, its interwoven narratives reflecting his enduring appetite for the concept album.

Completing the collection, ‘Roaming In The Gloaming’ gathers live recordings from 1995–2007, first released in the original vinyl box. These performances offer a complementary perspective on the studio albums, bringing Anderson’s solo repertoire into the shared space of the stage.

The accompanying 96-page hardback book features a foreword by Ian Anderson, extensive liner notes by Paul Sexton & exclusive photographs, providing context & insight into this richly varied body of work.

As Anderson reflects: “These records all stand out for me as being quite different from each other & in some ways demonstrate a broader depth of my songwriting. The flute instrumental ‘Divinities’ record is one of my favourites to this day.”
