Sean Murphy's appreciation of Clive and Glenn is spot on imo. A few words must be said about Clive Bunker and Glenn Cornick, the drummer and bassist who would not be long for this band (Cornick lasted one more album; Bunker two). While it’s hard to quibble with Bunker’s excellent replacement, Barrie Barlow, Bunker was the perfect drummer for Jethro Tull’s early work. He does restrained as well as explosive, but his accompaniment is always ideal for whatever a particular song calls for. Songs like “Back to the Family” and “For a Thousand Mothers” would be unthinkable without his contributions. Cornick was a top-notch bass player and each new remaster reinforces how busy and brilliant he was in the pocket. He gets room to shine on “Bouree” and “Nothing Is Easy”, but as is often the case with the best bassists, you almost don’t realize he’s there until you stop and consider what a particular song would sound like without him. The charisma and stage antics of Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond became indispensable components of Tull’s charm and overall history, but the loss of Cornick (see: artistic differences, rock music’s version of the pink slip) affected the later music more than Anderson might ever care to admit.

Another vinylholic? Stand Up is great on any format and the new release is certainly one that stands out, especially the booklet etc. Welcome to the Jethro Tull Forum Rrocinator and enjoy reading all the threads - we have a lot for you to look at

Welcome, rrocinator
Stand Up album tracks: I'm glad you are happy with the remaster. Just a word of caution: Although the remaster is bright and sparkles, when compared to the Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs CD you can clearly hear the noise reduction at play on the remaster.
Cheers!
