Recorded in Paris, 1972 in the lead up to recording ‘A Passion Play, The Chateau D’Herouville Sessions 2LP set contains the original 16 tracks mixed by Steven Wilson and a fourth side of recordings that were used on subsequent albums.
Prior to the release of their A Passion Play album in 1973, Jethro Tull recorded three sides of a double album at the Château d’Hérouville studio near Paris, France. Things did not go well, and the project was aborted.
After a band meeting where the decision was made to return to the UK, they part-recorded a treasure trove of quirky material on master tapes which were ferried back to continue work on in London – only to decide to start over with a whole new album project, which was to become A Passion Play, released in 1973. And so the Château tapes became the great lost album of Tull mythology until twenty years later when Ian Anderson reworked and completed most of the original material to release on the Nightcap album as the Chateau d’Isaster Tapes. Then in 2013, they received a make-over by Steven Wilson, for inclusion on the A Passion Play: An Extended Performance book-set.
