Many reasons for them to be recognized as one of the early and best British Prog-Rock bands, starting with Ian....c'mon man, a front man who can play classically trained flute, sophisticated chamber music and intricate finger picking on acoustic guitar, sing while balancing on one leg dangling....that alone was enough. Their music was different. But Ian was himself different.....he never tolerated BS from the audience and God bless him for that. Tull were big during the era when ass-holes would get up, wave a flag, throw a bottle, and whistle and hollar obscenities just to get on a bootleg live recording or so they thought, and Ian would have none of that talk-back from his audience. He was there to entertain and perform serious music, not schtick. A solid ensemble and Martin Barre on lead guitar was stellar. But, to hear Ian open a track with his incredible solo acoustic guitar introductions and eventually be joined on some nights by a full string orchestra......pure rock magic.

I think it's the very best Jethro Tull ever did. We played it to death when it came out and I still play it over 50 years later. My flute however gathers dust these days, but I still play a few Tull songs on the piano. Wondring aloud/again is my favourite to play and sing along to.

Today is Ian Andersons Birthday. he is like 90 years old now and looks like a old bald Italian Gardner BUT there was a time in history when he was young long hair and had a deep dark voice and totally refused like all of the rest of the English bands that came out the same time to sound like he is a black man singing the blues and just like he said in that song Play In Time. on the benefit album "The Blues Was Once My Favorite Till As A Light Skinned I found other types of music I can play" and he did , thanks lot Ian you use to be great and you still are !!! If I need an English man to sound like a black American blues singer I can always listen to Eric Clapton or Robert Plant or the dude from Small Faces. or well tons of them and they are all great. but you Ian, you rule!!!!

As a songwriter with a song recently in the top ten(#6) on the Billboard Blues Charts, I agree with you most holdheartedly!!!! Ian is Ian and I love that. There is Noone like him, and I've been a huge fan since day one. There isn't a facet of music that hasn't appeared in an Ian composition somewhere, and I love it. As great as they are, none of the aforementioned artists could have ever done this or sounded like this. Ian and Tull are unique..... Sonny T

....a man and his flute,...and his band.......69 was a great year...Ian and company...still the best..

I got this album for my 19th birthday in 1969, and it’s still my favourite album of all time. A true masterpiece.

Not their best as many of their early albums are great but this one is outstanding. And the vinyl edition when they were poping up. Pure joy for me. Tnx for sharing.

A young me in 1970 on acid and listening to this while my ottoman was taking me on a trip my feet will never forget!👌🏼✌️❤️

Forgot how good this album was

Amazing album..first 2 Tull albums are by far my fav..I still recall that feeling of ponderous melancholy during my early 20s..so when u look into the sun..

Fabulous album. Amazing Anderson could write so well at such a young age.

a genius..

Love the drums in Nothing is Easy.

My new wife of 6 months and I brought this album home back in 1970 and played it every day for two years. No shit.

J S Bach would love this version of his "Bourree"

Magnificent LP, one of Jethro Tull's best and catchiest. Raw and pure at the same time.

The first album I ever bought - It was a new day back then, still is

It was a new day yesterday, but it's an old day now ;-)

Managed a Radio Shack in the 70's. Used to blast this through all the audio gear in the back. Great memories.

First live concert I EVER saw was when I was 13 or 14, and it was none other than TULL, right after they came out with their 'Thick As A Brick' album. The BEST.

My review on Allmusic.com written July 22, 2015. 5 Stars Jethro Tull's second album saw Martin Barre on guitar replace Mick Abrahams who went off to form Blodwyn Pig. Barre would form a long partnership with Ian Anderson and Stand Up is one of their best albums. Glenn Cornick's bass playing is also outstanding. While Tull has had many fine bass players, Glenn Cornick is by far the best and his sound is unique and critical to the Tull vibe. Stand out cuts include "Back To The Family", "We Used To Know", "Nothing Is Easy" and "Look Into The Sun". Other notables included "Bouree" and "Fat Man". The signature Jethro Tull sound consisting of outstanding acoustic cuts and top shelf hard rock tunes make Stand Up an absolutely essential purchase. Original vinyl copies had the pop out Tull puppets, which are a must have for the serious collector.

I've loved this album since I was 7...such a beautiful memory back to those times...

I was 10 when this came out and is still one of my favorite Tull albums. Thank you for sharing =)

I just love all these tunes!

When the album is opened, little carboard cutouts of the four pop up.

I've got the pop-up album. And an original fold-out newspaper 'Thick As a Brick' album. Sure miss the LP days... album covers were a real art form. You don't see that kind of creativity anymore.

It is a hot record and this was by the way perhaps the real first Jethro Tull because one other alpha - animal Mick Abrahams had left the band a pity he had been brilliant Ian Anderson alike on the album: This was Unfortunately I laid my original copy of Stand up with its original stand - up - paper - band - members only for a short while on my central - heating - body with the result that the black shimmering surface looked like the highlands from Jethro Tull

As soon as Ian took control of the song writing, the difference becomes immediate and obvious, as that traditional Tull sound moves front and center. Ian Anderson, one of the great under-rated artists of rock.

an outstanding work on all levels, youth today has no concept

REASON FOR WAITING FANTASTIC SONG !

I remember cranking this in my Walkman on my way to the ski slopes. Dharma always got me pumped.

Walkman....LOL had this on vinyl 10 years b4 the walkman was born..but it bangs on any media

Love this album - lots of fond memories!!

This was my first "Alt-Rock" sound - sometimes blues, sometimes thick and soft, sometimes loud enough for an edge on overdriven guitars. But that FLUTE?!! WHA - ?!! That was really a limit-presser. A sound that sliced The Box open... no need to think outside the box - the box was in pieces - flattened.

This is a hot record this was a hot record perhaps the real first album of Jethro Tull A pity that two alpha - musicians Ian Anderson and Mick Abrahams alike had been fighting each other about the musical direction and leadership of Jethro Tull Their first album: This was is a heavy fast blues - jazz - album contrary to: Stand up

So different than anything else then or now.

I remember listening to this album in. 1974 when I lived in Ft Worth.

The soundtrack of my youth and as fresh today as the day it was released.

Always loved opening the album cover and the band actually stands up. Saw Tull a few times. Like all truly great music, time never changes it. For the blues crowd, this was their last album. For me. This and Benefit were the best.
