Jethro Tull grace the cover of the latest issue of Prog Magazine, which is on sale now...

The 80s might have been a strange time for prog, but in 1982 Jethro Tull certainly nailed things with The Broadsword And The Beast, a collection that married the best of classic sounding Tull to the sonic innovation the new decade brought with it. As the band release their new Broadsword box set we celebrate the making of the album with Ian Anderson, as well as looking at how Tull fared throughout the whole of the 1980s, from a new line-up to winning a Grammy and beyond.

Elsewhere Robert Fripp discusses fans misconceptions of him, Pat Metheny talks us through his Award-winning career, Dave Cousins reveals what's really happening with Strawbs and Geoff Downes and Chris Braide tell us all about the new Downes Braide Association album.

There's all the latest from TesseracT, Karnataka, Soen, IO Earth, Edward Reekers, Andy Jackson, Hats Off Gentlemen and more and live reviews of Jon Anderson, the John Wetton Tribute show, Kansas, Dream Theater and more...

The new issue also comes with four Jethro Tull postcards and a great free sampler from The Fierce And The Dead.
