Jethro Tull

Stand Up

LP with pop-up sleeve

Orange/Black Eye on Pink textured label

ILPS 9103

1969

This is an absolute rarity in the progscene which does not come up very often at all. This is of course the very first press of Jethro Tulls classic album. The vinyl has some hairlines and scuffmarks. On replay the sound of the heavy vinyl is magnificent!!! On side one there are a few pops on track 1 due to a mark. There are NO jumps and the album plays great throughout, a credit to these heavy first presses. I play my records on the very revealing Linn Sondek with B&W floorstanders and Rotel amplifier and it really comes up trumps!!! There is hardly ever any background noise. Some achievement for a 40 year old record.The winner of this auction will likely be very pleased.

The sleeve is also splendid!! No creases to the front. One crease to the back. The inside "STAND UP" gatefold is NM and unmarked. The spine and edges have some minor rubbing but all wordings are legible. The start of some ringwear to the back.

All in all a very rare first press Tull second album which is getting increasingly hard to obtain in any shape or condition!!!

The labels on side one has a name crossed out with a felt pen. Side two a minute sticker deposit, but no damage.

PayPal preferred but willing to consider alternative means of payment.
