The Broadsword and the Beast is the 14th studio album by rock band Jethro Tull, released in April 1982 by Chrysalis Records. The album's musical style features a cross between the dominant synthesizer sound of the 1980s and the folk-influenced style that Jethro Tull used in the previous decade. As such, the band's characteristic acoustic instrumentation is augmented by electronic soundscapes.
This special reissue features new stereo and surround remixes by Steven Wilson of the original classic plus stereo remixes of 1981 sessions and acoustic tracks!
