I liked the original recordings of the Under Wraps album even though it was highly over produced and electronic. It was the 80’s. Of course it was not Aqualung or Songs From The Wood. Bands experimented and some struggled to compete.

An article about that lp and that time frame of the band and Anderson. I thought it was an interesting article.
From the article: Today, Under Wraps is widely regarded as the worst Jethro Tull album, a reputation that’s not entirely deserved. While its sound and production date-stamp it to the mid-80s, the songs and themes running through it – “spies, secrecy and subterfuge,” according to Anderson, inspired by his love of writers such as John le Carré and Ted Allbeury – were classic Tull. An acoustic version of the title track, featuring Dave Pegg on stand-up bass, and released on a 2005 reissue of, pulls back the synthetic curtain to reveal the beating heart of Anderson’s music.
