Jethro Tull —
Stand Up ... LP Reprise, 1969. Near Mint- Gatefold ...
$9.99
Beautiful early work from Jethro Tull – a formative set that really has the group deepening both their themes and their music! There's still a bit of blues rock at the core – but also some richer, more lyrical modes too – and Ian Anderson does a perfect job of bridging both worlds with his sublime work on flute – an instrument that must have seemed like an odd lead for a rock group at the time, but which is no surprise in the same generation that artists like HerbieMann and Roland Kirk were making their own hip records – not to mention the great Harold McNair, who was a UK contemporary of Andreson. The whole thing's great – a record that's ripe for rediscovery, and which really gives back year after year – and titles include "A New Day Yesterday", "Back To The Family", "Fat Man", "Reasons For Waiting", "Nothing Is Easy", and the classic instrumental "Bouree". LP, Vinyl record album
(Early 80s Chrysalis pressing, in a standard gatefold cover with barcode. Cover has light wear.)

Mar Y Sol ... LP Atco, 1972. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ...
$24.99
A 2LP set recorded live at the Mar Y Sol festival in Puerto Rico in 1972 – more of a rock festival sort of outing, but with a few tracks that might interest the Dusty Groover. Titles include "Wang Dang Doodle" by Dr John, "The Noonward Race" by Mahavishnu Orchestra, "Looking For A Love" by J Geils Band, "Train Of Glory" by Jonathan Edwards, "Respect Yourself" by HerbieMann, "Bring My Baby Back" by John Baldry, and "Do You Know" by Osibisa. LP, Vinyl record album
(German Atlantic pressing. Labels have small initials in pen. Cover has minor marks from sticker removal at the top left corner.)
One of our favorite tunes ever from Jethro Tull – a cool jazzy number that's almost more HerbieMann or Harold McNair than the usual Tull groove! The bluesy bottom really drops out of the group's sound – and instead a hip bassline sets the tune up nicely for some sweet solo flute, and these catchy lyrics that are some of the most hook-heavy that Ian Anderson's ever sung! 7-inch, Vinyl record
