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' (1972) and 'A Passion Play' (1973) - 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 '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.
