Under Wraps is the 15th studio album by the band Jethro Tull, released in 1984. The songs' subject matter is heavily influenced by bandleader Ian Anderson's love of espionage fiction. It was controversial due to its electronic/synth sound. Dave Pegg has been quoted as saying that the tracks cut from Broadsword and the Beast would have made a better album, while Martin Barre called it one of his personal favourite Tull albums. The album reached Nº 76 in the Billboard 200 and Nº 18 in the UK charts. The single "Lap Of Luxury" reached Nº 30.
Under Wraps is a 1997 television film, and is considered to be the first Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) by the Disney Channel. It was included by the network in its 100 Original Movies celebration from May–June 2016.
Under Wraps was the third studio album from Shaun Cassidy, released in 1978. Less successful commercially than its two predecessors, Under Wraps was an early indication that Cassidy's popularity was beginning to lose momentum, as the album barely cracked the top 40 on the US Billboard charts, peaking at #33, and scoring no major US hit singles.
The album features the song "It's Like Heaven", which was co-written by founding Beach Boys member Brian Wilson, along with Rocky Pamplin and Diane Rovell. This would mean Wilson would have contributed musically to an album by both Cassidy brothers, as he also co-wrote the song "Cruisin' to Harlem" on the album Getting It in the Street by David Cassidy, Shaun Cassidy's half-brother.
