Overview:

WARCHILD: THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY THEATRE EDITION available as a 2-CD/2-DVD set.

Highlights from the set include:

 Original album and bonus tracks (three previously unreleased), remixed in 5.1 surround and

stereo by Steven Wilson.

 10 orchestral pieces (nine previously unreleased) written for the film’s soundtrack, 4 of which

are remixed in 5.1 surround and stereo by Steven Wilson.

 Flat transfers of the original LP mix at 96/24, and the quadrophonic version (with 2 bonus

tracks) in 4.0.

 “The Third Hoorah” promo footage, and footage from a January 1974 photo session/press

conference where the WarChild project was announced.

 An 80-page booklet featuring an extensive history of the project, a film script synopsis, track-

by-track annotations by Ian Anderson, plus rare and unseen photographs.

Originally released in 1974, WarChild features one of the group’s most prolific lineups and includes

Ian Anderson, Martin Barre, John Evans, Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond and Barrie Barlow. Unlike its

predecessors – Thick As A Brick and A Passion Play – which featured 40-odd minutes of continuous

music, WarChild marked a return to songs of a more conventional length, including the FM-radio

staple, “Bungle In The Jungle.” The new Theatre Edition unearths a trio of unreleased recordings:

“Tomorrow Was Today,” “Good Godmother,” and a different arrangement of “WarChild” recorded after

the version on the final album. Fans intrigued by the appearance of “WarChild Waltz” on the 2002

reissue of WarChild will finally get the chance to hear the rest of the mostly orchestral music the band

recorded for the soundtrack album. About 30 minutes was recorded during sessions in 1973 and

1974. Soon after, the music was consigned to the archives for 40 years – until now.
