We needed a Stand Up thread in this section>>>any excuse to start one, eh. On the news-wire today: www.hauteprovenceinfo.com/24072012Vinyle-de-legende--Stand-up-de-Jethro-Tull.media?a=760Google translate: Vinyl legend: "Stand Up" by Jethro Tull Fan of vinyl, Jean-Luc Found, aka JLT, regularly leaves the finest pockets of his collection. There are thousands! In viewing pleasure ... and ears. Vinyl legend: "Stand Up" by Jethro Tull Any musical culture is represented through these mythical albums. Beads aesthetic, design and graphics. Some of the most beautiful covers were designed in 1967 by a firm of designers known of Hipgnosis. They further committed between the covers of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel ... Here are the finest vinyl record sleeves! Here is one that has marked his time: Jethro Tull, "Stand up", 1969. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Another excuse... ;D The MFSL gold CD is my favourite version for sound. All the remastered versions of this do not sound as natural as this disc. The first USA CD is close to this.

Here's a lovely video and version of the song that's in my head for the last few days -watch it in full screen. His voice sounds beautiful.

It's a lovely song for sure......... Ian didn't write many slow songs, correction, he did actually... ::)and when he did they were beautiful.........I'm thinking of Look into the Sun, Life's a Long Song, Jack a Lynn, Moths, Dun Ringill, Acres Wild.......Sossity.....We Used to Know......For Michael Collins......One White Duck, Slow Marching Band......Sparrow on the Schoolyard Wall.....Another Harry's Bar......Wondering Aloud, Trying to Be, Nursie, From a Deadbeat.....Later, That Same Evening.......Stuck in the August Rain........ ...and there's more....

Sparrow's not slow, neither is Acres Wild..... but great list to prove he can do 'slow', however... Later That Same Evening is such a great example of a 'Tull Ballad'. 'Slow Marching Band' another.

I've heard that Aqualung was Tull's make or break record, where they either had to hit it out of the ballpark or probably start fading as some sort of peaked, thrasharound blues band. But I think Stand Up had already hit it out of the park, because it was the blueprint that charted the course; every song is clear evidence that the band style was breaking every seam of the blues suit and the band had no intention of relying on 12-chord mode. Ambition, energy, talent, force of character and creativity forced the songs on Stand Up to transition into very urgent and lively creatures, while the blues structures are still evident. It's close cousin, Benefit, was a surge of energy where the music form seemed much less important than liberated creativity, to explore and expand, to stretch and exercise options. Form began to follow the dictates of creativity, where as with Stand Up, creativity was bursting out of old but still worn forms. Benefit wasn't as radio-friendly because it didn't fit 3-minute pop song molds. At that point, no wonder the concern about the "next" task refined down to having the sense of "make or break", so a new vehicle had to be designed. It wasn't the canoe of the blues, nor could it be the hot air balloon of wild creativity with little form, it had to be something of easily defined form that people had access to. Aqualung and Thick As A Brick are where the forms are developed in harmony with the creativity, rather than being seen as a threat to creativity, or coming before or after it. This ends todays lecture on the Evolution of Bricks. Next week, guest host Associate Professor Of Uncombinant DNA, Snortin Laudanum, will review the nature of bentonite and price control mechanisms affecting Chicago School Blackjack Dealing in the residential real estate.

Yes, there was a clear and concise evolutionary tendency going on at that time. The big split of late ‘68 saw Mick Abrahams’ recording the son of “This Was” with the first Blodwyn Pig album “Ahead Rings Out” and the Ian Anderson led Jethro Tull progressing towards “Aqualung” via “Stand Up” and “Benefit”. My own feelings are that “Benefit” was the album that saw IA and Jethro Tull mature into the rock phenomenon that we all know and admire today and that “Stand Up” was a giant and wonderful stepping stone to this.

I've always considered Stand Up to be a vastly superior album to Benefit. Not only is Stand Up more diverse, but the compositional quality is better (and songs like "Nothing Is Easy", "Fat Man", "Look Into the Sun", "Reasons for Waiting" and "Bourée" are brilliant). What is interesting is that Benefit "benefits" from its remaster, which includes superb songs that were never part of the original release, "Witches Promise", "Singing All Day", "Just Trying to Be" and "Teacher".

Well.......... I love Stand Up, and see it as Tull's escape from the blues.... But........... Benefit is Ian at his best song writing. With You there to Help Me......has to be one of the best tracks ever...... Agreed. One of IA's finest. And who else could have produced their first three albums with such quality of ideas, musicianship and songs. I love all three but Benefit just edges in front of This Was and Stand Up. Great albums and great times.

With You there to Help Me......has to be one of the best tracks ever...... With You There To Help Me was the reason I got out of bed in the morning.....to plug in the record player. The song that seeped into my head and sent me with the help of hormones and drugs a bit doolally. One of the finest crafted songs ever. And surely as any Tull fan might want, if not the whole song then at the very least, the haunting opening played at their funeral. That would shock the vicar, the priest and embarrass the offspring. ;D I also agree with whats been said- SU has some beautiful songs and I don't think we would have had B without SU however B is more intricate and introspective - very important at the time for the angst ridden teen.

Benefit and Stand up in my top five ( today 2 and 3 ) Minstrel down to 4. Mentioning funerals on this lovely summers day I'm having 'Look Into The Sun' at mine - shame I'wont be ther to listen to it. Pass us that BBQ will you........ OWD

"Stand Up" has a character unique to itself, as do the most successful Tull albums. It sounds like it comes from another time and place, and that time is not necessarily the 1960s. It's hard to put into words, but the music can just take a person out of one's self and one's day-to-day problems. A musical journey, indeed!

I love Stand Up. It was my introduction to Tull. I use to listen to it over and over, beginning to end. I could have never have imaged the journey that would be in store for me. What an amazing trip it has been. And continues to be!
