This very rare, FIRST PRESSING, Jethro Tull LP from the formative years of the band’s career is hardly ever offered for sale in ANY condition.
This is the extremely rare real thing: a GENUINE first UK pressing. The record is in Excellent condition with just one light hairline mark on side two, that is completely inaudible, and plays perfectly, And the sleeve is also in Excellent condition, without any tears, creases, writing, removed stickers or other noticeable damage only the usual signs of 43 years of age. See pics. All items are the genuine originals bought together by me in 1969 not reprints or fakes. The LP is the original first press stereo LP, which was only played on top-end audiophile equipment and lovingly cared for.
THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS UNIQUE ALBUM EVER OFFERED FOR SALE IN RECENT TIMES
Stand Up is the second album by Jethro Tull. Before this album, the band's original guitarist Mick Abrahams resigned because of musical differences with Ian Anderson; Abrahams wanted to stay with the blues-rock sound of This Was, while Anderson wished to branch out into other musical forms. Overall, however, the album does remain more broadly in the style of blues rock than future Jethro Tull albums.
Stand Up represents the first album project on which Anderson was in full control of the music and lyrics. It also marks the first appearance of guitarist Martin Barre, who appeared on every Jethro Tull album from this point on. The album goes in a different direction from Ian Anderson's earlier work, revealing influences from Celtic, folk, and classical music. In particular, the song "Fat Man" showed an interest in unusual instrumentation, as Ian Anderson played mandolin, one of the first times the instrument had been used by a rock band. The instrumental "Bourée" (one of Jethro Tull's better-known songs) is a jazzy re-working of "Bourrée in E minor" by J.S. Bach.
The album reached No. 1 on the British charts. The gatefold album cover, in a woodcut style designed by artist James Grashow, originally opened up like a children's pop-up book, so that a cut-out of the band's personnel stood up — evoking the album's title. Stand Up won New Musical Express's award for best album artwork in 1969.
Ian Anderson has said that the melody and solo in "We Used to Know" were used by the Eagles in "Hotel California" as a type of tribute. The Eagles had opened for Jethro Tull at one time.
