Music reviews of Stand Up
Music Review: WORTHWHILE EDITION WITH EXTRAS
Rating: 4 Stars
Two discs 76,79 minutes each approximately. The remastered sound (2001 and 2010) is clean and still retains some of the warmth of the vinyl release. The mix on this re-release seems to be a bit more even, with an overall solidity (not compression which makes most music unlistenable) behind the music. Included is the original album, plus bonus tracks from a 1969 BBC Top Gear session plus a couple of radio spots-most in mono sound. The second disc is live tracks ( I'm assuming it's the complete set) from Carnegie Hall in 1970. The DVD is an audio only collection of live tracks from Carnegie Hall that mirrors those found on the second audio disc. The bonus feature on the DVD is an interview with Ian Anderson from 2010. The discs are snapped inside a five-fold cardboard holder. The original "stand-up" cut-out of the group from the original vinyl release is also included-a very nice touch. The booklet contains notes by Ian Anderson about the music, and a couple of period photos of the band. Also included is a track list with pertinent information about the recording processes, and who played what on each track.
In the review of the 2 CD Collector's Edition of "This Was", I mentioned that that album was my favorite Tull release. To be honest, this album is a very close second, so for whatever it's worth, I'm trying to be as subjective as possible again. This is the second album from JETHRO TULL, released in 1969. It's also the first album to feature new guitarist Martin Barre, who also played occasional flute. The blues sound found on the first album is largely absent due to Mick Abrahams' departure from the group. While that sound can still be heard in some of Barre's solos, there was more of a folk style feeling in the band's sound now. The rhythm section of Clive Bunker-drums, and Glenn Cornick-bass really began to assert themselves on this album, even though Cornick would be gone by the next album. And that's a shame because this album is the first where the band begins to define what would become their own sound-something Cornick contributed to with subtle flourishes. His combination of holding down the basic rhythm, and then stepping out front on an almost equal footing to play the melody gave the band's sound that much more depth and inventiveness.
This album is also where Ian Anderson's (vocals/flute/guitar/balalaika/keyboards/mandolin/mouth organ/bouzouki) writing skills (sometimes very dense) began to coalesce, and with the rest of the band, they forged their own style of rock, folk, and blues. Anderson was never a virtuoso on the flute (which he admits), but his sound (taken from jazz musician Roland Kirk), combined with his stage persona, was very engaging. Barre gets off several great solos on this album (try "We Used To Know"), and the combination of Anderson's tired, worn voice is very effective. The occasional use of strings ("Reason For Waiting" for example) was, at the time, a fairly new approach in rock music, but the sophisticated arrangements added real depth and feeling to the music. It's also the first album in which the blending of acoustic and electric guitars provides a strong backdrop for Anderson's lyrics. In that respect (except for the all out rockers) this album is similar to "Forever Changes" by LOVE. The arrangements are admittedly harder in most cases, but on the more introspective songs the combination of sometimes dense lyrical wordplay, and the blending of guitar sounds, especially in combination with occasional strings, has that innocent, wistful folk/rock style sound and feel.
The bonus tracks (some from the late John Peel's "Top Gear") feature a number of songs from the album (including 2 versions of "Living In The Past", one of which is the single version) and other contemporary favorites such as the instrumental "Bouree" (a concert favorite), "A New Day Yesterday", "17", and "Nothing Is Easy". The mono sound is slightly flat, but overall is very good. Hearing BBC Radio tracks like "A New Day Yesterday", "Fat Man", and "Nothing Is Easy", in live, cleaned up versions brings back the flavor of those days now long past. And while the arrangements don't differ much from the studio versions, they're still a treat to hear. Peel was not a fan of the band since Abrahams' leaving, and Anderson and Peel never truly connected again, which Anderson regrets, so this edition of the album is dedicated to Peel.
The live disc from Carnegie Hall (the album "Living In The Past" has 2 tracks, "Dharma for One" and "Kind Permission Of" from this same concert) has a bit of an edge to the sound, but what it lacks in fidelity is more than made up in an immediacy and power not found in the studio versions. Anderson's vocal inflections and forceful singing will be an eye opener for people who only know the group from their studio releases. Likewise his flute playing, which has a force and animation all it's own. A number of tracks from "Stand Up" are featured (including a killer version of "Nothing Is Easy"), along with a few songs from the album "Benefit". The addition of John Evan ("John Evan Blues Band") on piano helps fill out the sound of the band and give the music added depth. His classical training is very evident, and brings a certain elevation to the arrangements, around which Anderson's flute at times, weaves in and out ("With You There To Help Me/By Kind Permission Of"). "A Song For Jeffrey" is another stand out, with both Anderson's vocal and Barre's slide guitar, along with a Bunker's drumming, at times shaking the cobwebs out of the speakers. Along with "We Used To Know", there are a number of long tracks on this disc, which give the band time to stretch out and play, with very little (except a slightly indulgent flute/vocal display by Anderson on 1 song) wasted space. "Dharma For One" (all 13 minutes of it) includes a long drum solo, de rigeur for the time, so fair warning, unless that's something you enjoy. Anderson used the drum solo portion both so he and the rest of the band could catch their breath, and as a showcase for Bunker's drumming. One track simply titled "Guitar Solo", is just that. It begins with Barre playing some intense solo power chords, and continues with some rhythmic drumming from Bunker, who eventually plays on an equal footing with Barre. Ian Anderson comes in on vocals to finish the song (which has morphed into "For A Thousand Mothers"), and the band brings things to a breath stealing conclusion-just when you think things are over, the band comes roaring back for a final few bars. To have been there in person must have been something to witness.
This is yet another re-release of the band's early work. Listeners will have to decide whether this is just another money making venture, from an industry in trouble, or a valuable edition with real worth. But like "This Was", this edition is well worth purchasing for fans (like me), for both the sound (if you don't own the 2001 remasters) and the bonus tracks. If for some reason you want to know what all the fuss was (is) about JETHRO TULL, this edition (along with the deluxe edition of "This Was"), will tell you all you need to know about the early days of this exciting, rocking/folky, sometimes quirky band. This edition was manufactured in Europe, which oftentimes means that it may not be available everywhere, so buy it soon. It's well worth it for the early era Tull fan or fans of 60's era English rock.
