Notes

"War Child" (aka both "WarChild" & "Warchild") is the seventh studio album by Jethro Tull, released in October 1974.
The original front cover is a composite photograph featuring a positive color print of Melbourne, Australia at night, and a negative print of a studio photo of lead singer Ian Anderson. Some rare reissues (like this one) have a different cover sleeve with a "positive" print of Ian Anderson, and no picture in the background.

Despite the seemingly disconnected themes of the songs, the album was originally planned as a movie soundtrack. But the film project was abandoned after failed attempts to find a major movie studio to finance it, and the planned double-album set was reconstituted as a ten-song, single-disk rock album. In 2002, the CD reissue added seven new songs as a bonus, taken from the previously aborted double-album sessions.
