Very belated reply to this post - apologies. I'm not sure that the 12" version was any different to the 7" but there were 2 versions of the song. The first was a short 1' 30" vocal version sung by IA and used for the closing credits to the TV programme "Blood of the British", an historical documentary series tracing the origins of the British peoples broadcast initially in November 1984 and repeated 2 years later. The opening credits to the programme were accompanied by a 30" instrumental version of Coronach and the programmes themselves had incidental music along the same lines. I actually got a log of the music used and their titles from the programme makers and this was printed in one of the early "A New Day" magazines, volume 6. All music was written by David Palmer. The 7" and 12" were recorded later in 1986 and somewhat expanded. It was issued in response to enquiries made to Chrysalis and the programme makers so I'm lead to believe. The 12" record is quite rare and the 2008 RRPG values it at £40.

Coronach was original written at session 1n 84, with David Palmer, Ian, Martin, Dave Pegg,and Gerry Conway to work on Palmer's song Coronach that he had written for British documentary, However this ran into conflict with the release of Under Wraps so Chrysalis put the brakes on the release of Coronach. The TV Series was repeated on June11 1986 , This time Chrysalis although slow as .... decided to release Coronach/Jack Frost and The Hooded Crow to try and tie with the series. Some thought it was very strange that a Jethro Tull single with a Christmas song was released in June, but they were happy because they thought Tull was gone for good. The 12' came witg added songs on it it had Elegy as well as Living In The Past, this was done by Chrysalis soley to try to raise the record sales of Original Masters. Choronach was is titled as Jethro Tull with David Palmer . Coronach also has the record label no TULL 2 as far as being rare. I would have to say it is rare to very rare. I am lucky I do have 2 copies of each the 45 and the 12'.

As Coronach, both the short instrumental version and the original short vocal version, were considered just as incidental music for "Blood of The British", it's possible. As I've said elsewhere, the original themes and programme music must exist somewhere and are worthy of a release.
