www.antimusic.com/news/10/sep/15Jethro_Tulls_Stand_Up_Expanded_for_2_CD-DVD_Reissue.shtml"In his new liner notes essay, Ian Anderson writes, "In rehearsal and recording, we all tried different approaches to the songs. Clive and Glen formed the basic backbone of the group, leaving Martin and me to experiment a bit more with different sounds and, for the time, some radical techniques in sound recording. We often plugged instruments into the rotating Leslie speaker cabinet to treat the sound with the typical Hammond organ-like tones. Martin's guitar in 'A New Day Yesterday' was recorded with me standing on the guitar speaker cabinet, swinging a microphone, Roger Daltry-fashion around the outside to get a phasing, swirling sound for the main riff." It was the songs from Stand Up that introduced Jethro Tull to the US and Europe. For many it was their first taste of the eclectic style and varied material of the band and was savoured by enthusiastic and growing audiences wherever they played. Many of these songs still form part of the rotating set lists of Jethro Tull concerts to this day."

Thanks tootull, of course after reading about Ian standing on the speaker cabinet I had to have a listen once again to "A new day yesterday" I tried to imagine the scene but everytime I did, Ian's always on one leg

"Ian's always on one leg" >funny + you're welcome. When I hear "A New Day Yesterday" it reminds me of the band Cream. It makes me reach for "White Room"+, one of my favourite tracks of all time. Just listening to the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL/MoFi) CD of "Stand Up" makes me smile.

Basically is there anything new on the Triple cd set. Is it worth buying? Ive already got Carnegie hall on 25th anniversary boxed set. Why a dvd version as well as cd?.

Thanks for the pictures aqualung, it does look a fine album to have. I'm having to wait until Christmas for my copy. I hope Santa hasn't lost my letter.

Oh yes, a geat looking box set.
17 makes it onto CD clocking in at just over 6 minutes, the radio ads from the States are a hoot, the Carnegie concert is as good as we have always known it to be and a very interesting interview with IA, especially at the start with reference to Mick Abrahams feeling uncomfortable with the music IA was composing that featured eventually on Stand Up.
IA also mentions Davey O'List and Tony Iommi as auditioning for the guitar slot before Martin Barre joined and also says one or two others did as well. I wonder who they were?
Add the package to Santa's list if you can't get it straight away and on intial listening it's a release that I can recommend. Here's hoping others follow in the next few months/years.

Ian needs to thank me again, he just got another $25 from me (or at least the commission). Mine comes today. I have never heard the complete Carnegie Hall concert (never got the 25th anniversary set), looking forward to the 5.1 DTS sound. Neighbors are going to love me tonight.
Thanks for the info and pictures.
PS#1 - I just listened to the Carnegie Hall concert and it was great. Blasted on my system at 5.1 DTS. My first concert being there was Passion Play but I had bootlegs of the concerts before that. This is very good and I am glad I bought it. I highly recommend it. Makes me feel like at the concert itself. Very good addition.

Originally it must have been fairly labour intensive pasting the pop up onto the album sleeve and it was a novel idea on the part of the designer of the sleeve. I suppose these days it's all done during the printing run by robots. Thanks for the links Tootull.

www.californiachronicle.com/articles/yb/152042716JETHRO TULL "Stand Up: 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition" 3 discs (Chrysalis, 4 stars) "Stand Up," Jethro Tull's 1969 breakout, stands up. If "Thick as a Brick" or "Aqualung" annoys, this deserved, celebratory 40th (really, 41st)-anniversary box reminds that Tull was once a hungry, jamming four-piece ensemble, with Ian Anderson pouring out brilliant originals. Disc 1 is "Stand Up" remastered: Tull investigates classical, Celtic, jazz, folk, from "New Day Yesterday," a clever blues-riffer, to "Bouree," the Bach takeoff that made the band famous, to "Reasons for Waiting," proof Anderson can write pretty ballads. "Living in the Past" is here, too, in stereo and glorious mono. It might be Tull's best-written collection. Martin Barre had just joined as guitarist, which he's been ever since. He transformed the band's sound and arrangements, and original drummer Clive Bunker and bass man Glenn Cornick were madly propulsive. Extra tunes are here, plus a four-set BBC fling, complete with tape hiss and in-your-living-room vibe. Discs 2 and 3 offer a wild, thrashing, November 1970 concert at Carnegie Hall (by which time pianist John Evan had joined), with eight tracks not released before. Skip the MP3 of Disc 2, get headphones, and listen to the DVD/DTS of Disc 3 _ far superior sound. Too bad there's no video; half the fun of Tull was/is the stage show. A 45-minute chat with Anderson is informative and piquant. This box, redolent with 1969-1970, gives a long, vivid look at Ian A. and mates in leaping-gnome troubadour white heat. Best of all, it's got that cool cutout that stands up when you open the front flap! _John Timpane

He's correct about Clive and Glenn - argueably the band's best drum/bass combo imo but then I'm biased. Not a bad review, thanks for posting it Tootull

As far as the alternative mixes of Stand Up are concerned, I listened yesterday, albeit on a small cd system, to my original copy of the album. Yes there is a difference but whether that is due to the player used or the surroundings I wouldn't like to say. But I'd still like to know what IA or the band's preference is and whether the alternative mixes actually add to the experience of the listener. Having said that, the MFSL seems to be the best imo.

The drum solo's getting longer! On Living In The Past the drum solo in Dharma for One was about 3 minutes 4 secs. On the Stand Up 2010 CD it's more than doubled in length to about 6 minutes and 46 secs. Wait, there's more! The DVD drum solo is doubled again to 15 minutes 15 secs. Clive earned his money that night! How long will it be on the 50th Anniversary release?
