Hybrid Stereo SACD from Analogue Productions!
Mastered by Kevin Gray from the original U.K. Island analogue tape
Gold-selling second album was an early turning point for the band!

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 U.K. Albums Chart, and eventually earned gold certification in the U.S.

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-fuelled rave-up of Fat Man, to the groups spirited re-working of Johann Sebastian Bachs Bouree in E Minor. In a recent interview, Anderson picked Stand Up as his favourite Jethro Tull album, because that was my first album of first really original music. It has a special place in my heart.

Now with our Hybrid Stereo SACDD release, the best-sounding version of this historic album gives listeners an even richer sonic experience. Clean, balanced, richly detailed. Just the way an Analogue Productions reissue should sound.

Youll experience Jethro Tull classics such as Bouree, A New Day Yesterday, Look Into The Sun, We Used To Know, Fat Man and the rest with a new appreciation for the Grammy-winning progressive acts musical skill and innovation.
