JETHRO TULL-BROADSWORD AND THE BEAST-1982-FIRST PRESS UK-CHRYSALIS-CDL1380. The Broadsword and the Beast is the 14th studio album by the rock band Jethro Tull, released on April 10, 1982. The album is a cross between the dominant synthesizer sound of the 1980s and the folk-influenced style that Jethro Tull used in the previous decade. Thus, the band's characteristic acoustic instruments are complemented by electronic soundscapes provided by the new keyboardist Peter-John Vettese. The electronic aspects of this album will be further explored by the band in their next release, In Secret. In the notes to the remastered version of the album, Ian Anderson expresses the opinion that Broadsword contains some of the best music of Jethro Tull.
