Jethro Tull

Stand Up Jethro Tull

The progressive rock band Jethro Tull around Ian Anderson with his characteristic flute playing is definitely considered a cult and awakens many a memory of "the good old days". With the re-release of the second album "Stand Up" Analogue Productions now offers a special audiophile pleasure of this classic, mastered by Kevin Gray. The reissue is sonically superior to the 1969 original in many areas and gives great songs like "Fat Man", "We Used To Know" or the legendary version of Bach's "Bourée" a new stage.

While the first album "This Was" was still strongly influenced by the blues-loving guitarist Mick Abrahams, Anderson brought in folk-rock, classical and jazz elements on "Stand Up" after Abrahams' departure and from then on formed the typical Tull sound with Martin Barre on guitar. Songwriting and the musical direction were now in Anderson's hands, whereby he steered the band sustainably in a more progressive direction. The album, which is particularly close to Anderson's heart, made it to No. 1 in the British charts and brought the band gold status in the US.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" CD/DVD conditioner for even more sonic improvement.
