For a thousand mothers, Listening to "Stand Up" more than usual lately. IMO If you don't like this album, you don't like music. Back to the family Is that your life? Do you understand? Stand Up will always be the #1 Tull album in my book. I love Back to the Family, probably my favorite one on there, and one of their hardest rocking songs, along with Nothing is Easy and Dangerous Veils. Jeff Great to see the respect for "Stand Up". An album that I discovered many years after the release. Tull stayed hidden to me until 1972. Yikes! |

Not sure if I'll by this now. I might just download the full version of 17 on iTunes instead. Sad state if a re-release will sell better then a new release.  |

I downloaded it from Amazon.com and the mono stuff does sound great! I think the download cost me 8 or 9 dollars for 20 something tracks.  |

Check out the official site for more details www.jethrotull.com/discography/standupcollectors/index.htmlIan's liner notes to the new set:
"Perhaps the real beginnings and the blossoming of the creative side of Jethro Tull began with the writing of the first songs for the Stand Up album during the late Summer of 1968. I remember, sitting in the sultry confines of a humble cold-water Kentish Town bed-sit, strumming away at an old and relatively silent Harmony Stratotone electric guitar (I didn’t yet possess a bona fide acoustic instrument at that time). I was struggling to find new song structures and musical directions outside the simple framework of the blues-based pieces which formed the first, This Was album, just released two months before. Some of these new songs were to follow lyrical threads from my teenage years and were more autobiographical in nature like Back To The Family and For A Thousand Mothers. Some were whimsical, more observational songs such as Fat Man and Jeffrey Goes To Leicester Square. Then, of course, there was the reworking of the Classical Bach Bouree, still a staple of the Tull live set today.
By the end of 1968, I had most of the ideas in place and, following the departure of original blues guitarist, Mick Abrahams, we set about the search for a replacement – ideally one whose musical style was not so defined by one music form. In Martin Barre, who officially agreed to join Tull on Christmas Day of that year, we found a young, open-minded guitar player who had a wide interest in various kinds of music.
Martin and I did our learning together as we worked on the arrangements of the Stand Up tunes. 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. I also fooled around with mandolin, balalaika, and even played a bit of keyboards.
Recording Engineer Andy Johns was the little brother of the better-known Glyn Johns, who worked with the Rolling Stones, Traffic and others of that period. Young Andy, brash, confident and very inexperienced, was a lowly tape-operator at Morgan Studios, North London, and convinced our manager, Terry Ellis, to let him engineer the sessions for us. Andy was as quick to learn from us as I was quick to learn from him and we made a good team.
Of course, soon to have the success of a number one album to his credit on first time out as an engineer, ambitious Andy quickly moved on to become a fully-fledged record producer, famously to record with Led Zeppelin for two albums and with The Rolling Stones’ on Exile On Main Street the following year while we went on to work with Robin Black and John Burns for our next efforts.
The supplementary tracks on this collection were born in the aftermath of the release of Stand Up during our first tour in the USA. The singles, Living In The Past and Sweet Dream, later to appear on the Benefit album of 1970, were strongly linked to the time.
The 1970 Carnegie Hall concert was Terry Ellis’ idea and perhaps was the justification for the name of the Tull album of that year. It was indeed a benefit show for a drug rehabilitation centre in New York City. Attended, bewilderingly, by the flustered Duke and Duchess of Bedford who looked as though they had been expecting a concert of Mozart flute concertos, it was a typical raucous Tull affair, drawing heavily on the Stand Up material as well as presenting a few of the then new songs from Benefit. John Evan had joined the band by then and his Classical piano training is amply demonstrated in this live concert.
But it was surely the Stand Up songs which were to introduce Jethro Tull to the USA, the wider world in Europe and elsewhere. For many of our fans, this was their first taste of the eclectic style and varied material of our little band and was savoured by enthusiastic and growing audiences wherever we played. It is a testimony to the effectiveness and strength of this repertoire that many of these songs still form part of the rotating set lists of our concerts to this day.
Here, in this splendid collectors’ edition of the Stand Up era recordings, we also have the addition of the John Peel session tapes. Venerated DJ of the BBC radio shows Top Gear and Night Ride, Peel championed the new artists of the late sixties. Captain Beefheart graced the airwaves in Europe courtesy of Peel’s support and the playing of his early works. T Rex, Jethro Tull, and Led Zeppelin were all to find early national attention through Peel’s radio shows.
But John, who had a soft spot for original Tull Guitarist, Mick Abrahams, was not to be so supportive of our next effort. He advised me, at a co-appearance in a Devon club in early ’69, that he didn’t like the new songs of Stand Up and thought it a mistake that we had apparently lost touch with our Blues roots and Mick in particular.
Martin and I were a little stung by this and so the mood was not good when we recorded the songs for Peel’s live sessions show four months later. John Peel, himself, didn’t turn up, which made us feel somewhat unloved! Peel’s Producer John Walters reported some of this bad feeling to his master and thus began a long and regrettable period of disassociation from one of the two or three people most supportive and influential in getting Tull’s career started.
Sadly, John died in 2004 and we never really had the chance to make up. So I dedicate this edition of Stand Up and its related bonus material to John’s memory, with fondness and appreciation. He was truly one of our all-time best-loved broadcasters in the UK and, without his generous support in those first few months, Tull might never have made it to the next level.
Ian Anderson, 2010"

Got an email from Amazon earlier today - shipped today - should have it tomorrow! Now, I understand that the Carnegie Hall show is DTS audio-only - however, the interview with Ian - is that just a dvd audio interview or is it dvd video? Anyone know? Also got myself another music book as part of the same Amazon order - 'The Inner Game of Music' by Barry Green and Timothy Gallwey. So...I'm looking forward to the mail arriving tomorrow. "Back To The Family" is a favourite... and Ian thinks this is one of the worst songs he has ever written? Bloody excellent track - love the jam out flute riffs, bass and guitar at the end. For that matter - I also love "17" - it features some of my favourites lyrics/lines Ian has ever written - "the clock struck summertime" and "the cakeman was affecting you". |

Good to see you again Brian. Please let me know the answer to the DVD. I haven't decided whether or not to buy the whole set out just a few of the songs on download. Cannot believe does not like Back to the Family as well. That's always been one of my favorites with it's multi-dimensional sound. |

Hi TM - Good to see you too and thanks for the welcome back! My 'Stand Up' 2010 Deluxe Edition arrived today just after lunch. Fantastic! Lovely product. Great liner notes, text and layout/design. The interview with Ian is a dvd video feature. I've only watched the first 10 minutes - looks great - cutaways to some photos and broken up into different sections. I look forward to watching the interview after work. The Carnegie Hall concert sounds fantastic - haven't checked out the 5.1 mix yet. Now....if only we could have deluxe editions like this for every album. Superb! |
