Stand up 2CD + DVD Collectors' Edition (2010)/ Jethro Tull

"The group's second album, with Ian Anderson (vocals, flute, acoustic guitars, keyboards, balalaika), Martin Barre (electric guitar, flute), Clive Bunker (drums), and Glen Cornick (bass), solidified their sound. There are still elements of blues present in their music, but except for the opening track, "A New Day Yesterday," it is far more muted than on their first album -- new lead guitarist Martin Barre had few of the blues stylings that characterized Mick Abrahams' playing. Rather, the influence of English folk music manifests itself on several cuts, including "Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square" and "Look Into the Sun." The instrumental "Bouree," which could've passed for an early Blood, Sweat & Tears track, became a favorite concert number." (Bruce Eder, Allmusic) Deze set bevat de 2001-remaster plus liefst 11 bonus tracks op CD1 en een concert in Carnegie Hall uit 1970 op CD2. Dit concert staat in surround mix op de DVD (audio only), aangevuld met een interview uit 2010 met Ian Anderson.
