The album has been reissued on CD several times: the first CD release (1985),<ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite web|url=http://www.collecting-tull.com/Hartov/core.htm |title=Core albums 1968 – 1977 |publisher=Collecting-tull.com |date=12 September 1997 |access-date=27 June 2014}}</ref> the [[Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab|MFSL]]-release (1989),<ref name=autogenerated1 /> the 25th Anniversary Edition (1997), and the 40th Anniversary Edition (2012).

The 40th Anniversary Edition was released in November 2012, and includes a CD, a DVD, and a book. The CD contains a new [[mix (audio)|mix]] of the album. The DVD contains a [[5.1 surround sound]] mix (in [[DTS (sound system)|DTS]] and [[Dolby Digital]]), the new stereo mix in high resolution, and the original stereo mix in high resolution. The first pressing of the DVD/CD box contained a faulty DVD with significant audio errors. A corrected replacement edition was issued later, with only a horizontal line beneath the "album duration" note on the disc label to identify it. The album was also re-released on vinyl at the same time.<ref name="thickasabrickdeluxe.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.thickasabrickdeluxe.com/ |title=Thick as a Brick 40th Anniversary Editions – Special Collector's Edition |publisher=Thick as a Brick Deluxe.com |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130916070228/http://www.thickasabrickdeluxe.com/ |archive-date=16 September 2013 |access-date=22 May 2016 }}</ref> This edition lists part one at 22:45 and part two at 21:07.

For the 50th anniversary, a new vinyl pressing of the Wilson remix, mastered at half speed, was released with the original newspaper cover.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-06-21 |title=Jethro Tull: "Thick As A Brick" erscheint zum 50. als Jubiläumsausgabe – inklusive dem legendären Zeitungspapier-Einband |url=http://www.warnermusic.de/news/thick-as-a-brick-erscheint-zum-50-als-jubilaeumsausgabe-inklusive-dem-legendaeren-zeitungspapier-einband |access-date=2023-01-29 |website=Warner Music Germany |language=de}}</ref> The CD/DVD bookset was also reissued, still titled 40th Anniversary Edition, but with the mastering on all versions of the remix as originally intended by Wilson. It can be differentiated from the original pressing by the copyright dates on the back and by being released on [[Parlophone]] instead of EMI.
