I would only buy this if it contained some outakes or something else comparable. I am not sure that any outstanding BBC sessions would be enough of a lure much though I love stand up.

The MFSL is with out question the best out there, I think they would be hard pressed to match its quality, but if they threw in some out takes and some other goodies it would be worth it. I will buy it no matter what. Stand Up is my favorite Tull album and on that reason alone I would purchase it. I am sucker any way I have bought everything else. It has been in my blood since way back when.

Re: 2CD release of 'Stand Up' - I'm guessing this is not going to happen. www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=84119&page=41Music Review: Jethro Tull - Stand Up Apr 15, 2010 Article Author: David BowlingJethro Tull returned with their sophomore album less than a year after their debut and change was in the air. Guitarist and co-leader Mick Abrahams had left the group due to creative differences with Ian Anderson. He envisioned more of a blues sound and Anderson wanted to take Tull in a different direction. His departure left Anderson firmly in control and he would go on to create one of the more unique sounds in rock history. Tony Iommi would be a very short time replacement for Abrahams. His short term claim to fame with Jethro Tull was his appearance with the group on The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. His lasting claim to fame came as the guitarist for the legendary Black Sabbath. His replacement would be Martin Barre who would appear on Stand Up and every other release to date and would become recognized as one of rock’s outstanding guitarists and the perfect foil for Anderson. The album's art work is some of the most unique in history and would win several awards at the time. It had a gatefold cover and when you opened the album the members of the band would pop up as stand-up figures. Take that CD lovers. The album was reissued a number of times without this feature so you need to seek out the original release if you want to experience the true Stand Up cover art. Stand Up finds the group beginning to move in a progressive rock direction as Anderson and Barre settled in to what would become a forty year and counting musical partnership. It may not have the conceptual cohesiveness of many of their later releases but the music comes together to form one of their stronger albums. It would be their commercial break through as it reached number one in England and earned gold status in The United States. This album contains something for every fan of Jethro Tull. “Nothing Is Easy” and “A New Day Yesterday” begin to fuse rock, jazz, and classical music which would be so important to their future. “Look Into The Sun” is a nice ballad which features one of the first great Martin Barre solos. “Reasons” For Waiting” is a love song with lush orchestration. “Fat Man” would present the type of humor which Jethro Tull would be so good at creating. “For A Thousand Mothers” is rock with a premier flute performance by Anderson. Finally “Bouree” is a superior take on the Bach song. Stand Up was Jethro Tull’s coming out party. If you are a fan of the group or their style of music, this album should always be with in range of your stereo system. I told him: * From a CD lover - The Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab gold CD and the Japanese remastered (mini LP) CD of Stand Up feature the pop-up.

I love Stand Up.
Just testifying to that fact. The album that really began to define my favourite Tull sound.

I just recieved a credit saying that CD NOW could not get stock on this item, so I guess it is either not be released or it delayed for some unknown time period

There are too many wrong statements from the journalists (am I wrong ? I thought "Thick as a Brick" was Number One in the charts in England and fairly big in the USA as well ? (plus it is not "mainly acoustic", there are lots of electric guitar on it too, and organs). But apart from this, what Anderson says just depresses me... How are the others doing, that continue to release albums, then ? Are they magicians ? And if you really want to compose new songs and make them heard, you don't really care so much about this. I can't believe that JT can't record and release an album without losing money nowadays. They have private studios, so they don't need to spend huge amounts on recording... except maybe for the drums. I know progressive rock bands who don't sell more than 20 000 copies for each of their records and still manage to do a perfectly well produced album about every 3 years. I think Ian and people like Yes just want now a piece of cake that is maybe too big, as sad as it is for me to think this could be true it. This said, I must add tha the last time I atteneded some Jt concert , I was appalled at the fact that many so-called fans were just beltign to have the inevitable Qaulung and Locomotive Breath... May I be a bit provocative and say (it is true, anyway) that one of my dreams is to attend a concert where Ian Anderson will *not* play any of those two songs ? There is at least a dozen of JT songs that I prefer to these 2ones. As for "Stand Up", funnily enough, I didn't like it very much in the first place, except for the songs "We Used to Know", "Reasons for Waiting", "Bourée", "Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square" and "Look into the Sun" (which are still my favourites, unlike most fans who prefer the heavier side of the album) but as years went by, I appreciated it more and more. it is one that I love too. I like everything on it except "For a thousand mothers" (that has been often played live since 99, funnily enough ) What bothers me in those press statements is that there is already an excerpt of a concert at Carnegie Hall in 1970 on "Living in the Past" and the rest of the concert is on the 25 Years box set, if I remember well... I wonder how there could be a significantly different one at the same venue recorded in the same year... weird...

It also bothers me I dont want the Carnegie concert I already have it on LITP and the box set. Although it would be nice to have it on one CD. I was hoping for Stockholm 69 and Tanglewood 70 both of which were recorded. To my knowledge Tull only played once at Carnegie Hall in 1970 so this must be a repackaging of what is already available

But for which price ? By the way, although I'm usually a sucker for remasters, I haven't bought the "This Was" newly expanded remaster, so I'll seek on this forum if you talked about it, now. That might be a indication of what to expect.

I think they will not be able to get a re mastering job better then Mobile Fidelity's release. And a dv/cd release of Stockholm 69 or Tanglewood would be so much better. Like Preston stated they only played Carnige Hall once and it has already been released. I try to order from cd now and I ended up getting a cred back, I will still try and get it if it is released
