Stand Up

Stand Up, released in 1969, is the second studio album by British rock band Jethro Tull. It was the first Jethro Tull album to feature guitarist Martin Barre, who would go on to become the band’s longtime guitarist until its initial dissolution in 2011. Before recording sessions for the album began, the band’s original guitarist Mick Abrahams departed from the band as a result of musical differences with frontman and primary songwriter Ian Anderson; Abrahams wanted to stay with the blues rock sound of their 1968 debut, This Was, while Anderson wished to add other musical influences such as folk rock. The album was released 25 July, and was No. 1 on the UK albums chart the following week, 3 August, following up on the success of the non-album single “Living in the Past”, which had reached No. 3 in the UK singles chart on the day the album was released. The album was Jethro Tull’s first success in the United States, reaching No. 20 on the Billboard 200.
