Stand Up is the second album by Jethro Tull. Prior to this album, original guitarist Mick Abrahams had left the band due to musical conflicts with Ian Anderson. Stand Up represents the first album where Anderson is in full control of the music and lyrics. The album goes in a different direction, introducing influences from Celtic music, folk and classical music. It reached No.1 on the British charts. The album cover, originally a woodcut designed by artist James Grashow, opened up and the band's personnel stood up, similar to a child's pop-up book, linking into the album's title.

Excellent! For some odd reason, this is a difficult album to find on the interweb. Glad to download it here in toto. I also downloaded all the Django Reinhardt cuts en masse, may I say.

It's indeed a very good album with marvelous tracks such as Bouree and Living In The Past.
Bluesman will appreciate that you like Django as he's our resident Django expert:)
