(TeamRock Radio) Jethro Tull have announced a limited-edition 40th anniversary release of their War Child album, with additional unreleased tracks. The package includes a new mix by Steven Wilson plus music and a script synopsis from the abandoned film which was intended to accompany the original release in 1974.

The movie, which was set in the afterlife and said to star Leonard Rossiter, with John Cleese hired as "humour consultant," was shelved after the band failed to secure funding. Instead, War Child was released as a standard 10-track album.

The anniversary edition includes 11 "associated recordings," with _Good Godmothe_r, _War Child II _and Tomorrow Was Today previously unreleased. A set of 10 orchestral soundtrack pieces is also featured, of which only one has been previously released - a track entitled War Child Waltz appeared on the 2002 reissue.
