Early Tull....not nearly as well known as Aqualung but has some hidden gems such as "To Cry You a Song". More guitar and less flute-oriented than what you might expect.

"This is a realy great Tull album--some would disagree with me when I say it's on par with Aqualung, but I think it is. Perhaps not quite as good, but Aqualung is much more famous and more frequently played--so this album is always a treat to return to. Great early Tull. And the bonus tracks are excellent as well!"

A rediscovery

"It's funny because I hadn't listened to Jethro Tull for many years, but I was a fan in their early years. I happened on a tv concert they had on a couple of months ago and I was very impressed. I checked out some sound samples

from their first few albums and bought StandUp, Benefit and Aqualung. My favorite on Benefit is Cry Me a Song. This group lineup is my favorite too, and unfortunately the last album with bassist Glenn Cornick, who I thought was incredible. This was Martin Barr's second Tull album and he's still playing with Ian Anderson-that's a lot of years! If you don't have this and are a Tull fan do so."
