Description
Jethro Tulls second album, Stand Up, marked an early turning point for the band with the addition of guitarist Martin Barre along with Ian Andersons introduction of folk-rock influences to the groups blues-based sound. Released in the summer of 1969, Stand Up rose quickly to the top of the UK Albums Chart, and eventually earned gold certification in the US.
Stand Up was the first album where Anderson controlled the music and lyrics, resulting in a group of diverse songs that ranged from the swirling blues of A New Day Yesterday and the mandolin-fueled rave-up of Fat Man, to the groups spirited re-working of Johann Sebastian Bachs Bouree in E Minor.
Following the recent Elevated Edition of the album, breakouts featuring the Steven Wilson Remixes will be released on CD, LP and digital formats. The LP will mimic the original release with the pop-up centerfold and the 1 CD jewel case features a 32 page booklet.
