The Carnegie Hall re-masters are excellent. Superb sound - very crisp.
Great interview too...I particularly liked the bit when IA talked about musicians playing an instrument they are totally unfamiliar with so as to approach music in a much simpler and rudimentary way. Get back to basics.
When talking about Bouree IA suggested that MB had played the second flute line on Bouree - very surprised to hear that - I was always quite certain that IA had played both lines.
Superb deluxe edition of Stand Up. Just thinking, it would be great to see this treatment given to other Tull albums - one album that I would love to see as a deluxe edition is 'Catfish Rising'. It's always been a favourite - definitely in my top 7 albums. There is a lot of bonus material that could go on a second disc - lots of radio promos of Rocks on the Road plus other songs - (I understand there are some un-released tracks from this era too). Would be great to see an IA interview about 'Catfish Rising' - in some ways, I think that album is the 'Stand Up' of the 90s - it has a similar mix of blues/world - like a tall thin girl/love ballads and humour/lightness. One of my favourite Tull album covers too.
Personally, it's always great to watch interviews with IA when he talks about musical instruments, the creativity process etc... stuff like that.
Brian.

Good to hear that the Carnegie recordings are good quality I am also surprised to hear that Martin played the other flute on bouree! I knew that he played it live sometimes in the early days, but I never knew it was that way on the album--is he credited accordingly?

Yes, actually Martin is credited on a couple songs if memory serves, but I don't recall the other.

I knew that he played it live sometimes in the early days, but I never knew it was that way on the album--is he credited accordingly? I opened my copy of the LP and it says "Martin Lancelot Barre played electric guitar, and flute on side one track two, and side two track four" That's "Jeffrey goes to Leicester Square" and Reasons for Waiting". Maybe he did one of the flutes on Bouree as well? I assumed they were double tracked by Ian. Geoff

Looks pretty awesome. I remember Ian in the liner notes of the remastered Stand Up talked of regretting not being able to have the pop-up in the cd booklet. It's funny how they advertise it on the front as if it'll be a deciding factor in whether or not to buy the album Looks great though. Nice pictures and album artwork. My copy has the white frame around it that says "digitally remastered" and is the same on my "Benefit" album and I think on my "This Was" album. Good to see it the way it was meant to be.

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

I'm sure that the entire concert was on the 25th Anniversary Box Set. I don't think I'm wrong about that. It looks like another example of a factual mistake in a review, much like the pop-up issue that you pointed out earlier. Either that, or I am the one who is wrong. Am I the only one who is disappointed by this new release? It's mostly fancy packaging, nothing really that hasn't been released before, not even any quad recordings which I thought there was going to be. The first disc is the exact same as the 2001 remaster, with the same bonus tracks, plus the Peel tracks that we already have from the 20th Anniversary Box Set. The second disc is the Carnegie Hall concert, which most of us have from the 25th Anniv. Box Set, and the DVD disc has no live footage. The only new thing at all is the interview with Ian. In retrospect, I should have been content with the 2001 remaster and the Mobile Fidelity edition, and saved myself 28 bucks. Jeff

There are differences in the Dharma For One drum solo length on the 2010 Stand Up CD & DVD.
On the CD it's about 6 minutes and 46 secs while on the DVD it's 15 minutes 15 secs! Crikey!
So if you really love Clive's drum solos you might NEED the 2010 Collector's Edition.
BTW on the original Living In The Past release the drum solo was only about 3 minutes 4 secs. I can remember thinking back then what a long solo it was!

LOL wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll nobody told me it was a competition. Even when I lose, as if, haha, I win. Thanks for posting a picture of my favourite/favorite comedian, TM.
So true: "Stand Up may be Jethro Tull’s second album, but it is more like a first than a follow-up, in almost every way."
Nights of winter turn me cold - fears of dying, getting old. We ran the race and the race was won by running slowly. - Ian Anderson
