Nightcap - The Unreleased Masters, 1973 - 1991

Nightcap: The Unreleased Masters 1973–1991 is a double compilation album by British rock band Jethro Tull, released on 22 November 1993. It consists of some of the band's previously unreleased material as well as some new material. The first disc contains material recorded in August 1972, much of which was re-recorded and re-arranged for the band's sixth album, A Passion Play. The songs "Scenario", "Audition" and "No Rehearsal" initially appeared on the 20 Years of Jethro Tull box set as a single track entitled "The Chateau d'Isaster Tapes". This humorous title is also used on Nightcap as the title of the entire first disc. The material on the first disc was mixed and arranged as the aforementioned three tracks were on the 20 Years box set with numerous flute overdubs by Ian Anderson, but excludes the songs "Big Top" and "Sailor". All "Chateau d'Isaster" material apart from "The Story of the Hare Who Lost His Spectacles", which had been cut into the album A Passion Play in 1973, was included as part of the 2014 re-release of A Passion Play, remixed by Steven Wilson and without any overdubs.
