Benefit is the third studio album by the British rock band Jethro Tull, released in April 1970. It was the first Tull album to include pianist and organist John Evan – though he was not yet a permanent member of the group – and the last to include bass guitarist Glenn Cornick. It was recorded at the same studio of the previous album, but the band experimented with more advanced recording techniques.[1]

Frontman Ian Anderson said that Benefit is a much darker album than the 1969 predecessor, Stand Up, owing to the pressures of an extensive U.S. tour and frustration with the music business.[2]

Production[edit]
Guitarist Martin Barre said that Benefit was a lot easier to make than previous albums, as the success of Stand Up allowed the musicians more artistic latitude.[3]
Bassist Glenn Cornick stated that the band's intention was to capture a more 'live' feeling as 'I felt the last one sounded like a group of session musicians performing various songs. It was pretty cold.'[4]
The locales addressed Bayaza as Bayaza Maa who was drawn to Sai after his angelic powers were found to be revealed. That’s why, she is considered by Sai as his sister and even took care of Tatya Kote, who was the son of Bayaza. Right from the time when they first met, Bayaza will never eat devoid of feeding Sai. Bayaza Bai was considered to be the sister of God man Sai for the past seven births.
Benefit incorporated studio techniques such as reverse recording (flute and piano tracks on 'With You There to Help Me'), and manipulating the tape speed (guitar on 'Play in Time'). In a 1970 interview Anderson noted that the addition of keyboardist John Evan had changed the band's style: 'John has added a new dimension musically and I can write more freely now. In fact anything is possible with him at the keyboard'.[5]
Musical style[edit]
Ian Anderson said that Benefit was a 'guitar riff' album, recorded in a year in which artists like Cream, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin were becoming more riff-oriented. Anderson also noted that Benefit is 'a rather dark and stark album and, although it has a few songs on it that are rather okay, I don't think it has the breadth, variety or detail that Stand Up has. But it was an evolution in terms of the band playing as 'a band.' Overall, Anderson considered the album 'a natural part of the group's evolution'.[6]
According to Martin Barre 'To Cry You a Song' was a response to Blind Faith's 'Had to Cry Today', 'although you couldn't compare the two; nothing was stolen .. The riff crossed over the bar in a couple of places and Ian and I each played guitars on the backing tracks. It was more or less live in the studio with a couple of overdubs and a solo. Ian played my Gibson SG and I played a Les Paul on it.'[7]
Releases[edit]
The UK and the US release are different: the US version (with flute) of 'Teacher' was placed on side two of the album and the track 'Alive and Well and Living In' was excluded. In the UK 'Teacher' was the B-side of the non-album single 'Witch's Promise' and fluteless.[1]
In 2013 The Collector's Edition of Benefit was released. It contains bonus tracks mixed by Steven Wilson, a disc with mono and stereo mixes of rare and previously unreleased versions of tracks and singles and an audio-only DVD that includes a surround sound mix of the original album. The Collector's Edition also includes a booklet featuring an 8,000-word essay written by Martin Webb, as well as interviews with band members and a selection of photos, some previously unseen.[8]

Critics were generally unimpressed with Benefit upon its release. Rolling Stone called the album 'lame and dumb'.[13]Disc and Music Echo was also unimpressed but recognized the band's quality: 'This album doesn't advance by such a drastic leap as Stand Up did from This Was. It's more like the Jethro Tull we've seen and heard for the past year. It seems to be a remarkably long album, and shows what an exciting group this is. Exciting because they can have quite long guitar breaks and still retain a very tight and together sound'.[14]The Village Voice critic Robert Christgau appreciated the riffs around which all the songs were constructed, but was taken away by the lyrics that he judged hard to recall.[10]
AllMusic and Record Collector's much-later reviews were more positive in accepting the album's style. Bruce Eder stated that: 'Most of the songs on Benefit display pleasant, delectably folk-like melodies attached to downbeat, slightly gloomy, but dazzlingly complex lyrics, with Barre's guitar adding enough wattage to keep the hard rock listeners very interested. 'To Cry You a Song', 'Son', and 'For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and Me' all defined Tull's future sound: Barre's amp cranked up to ten (especially on 'Son'), coming in above Anderson's acoustic strumming, a few unexpected changes in tempo, and Anderson spouting lyrics filled with dense, seemingly profound imagery and statements.'[9]Record Collector reviewer, analysing the Collector's Edition of 2013, praised the Steven Wilson remix and wrote: 'Benefit forms the perfect bridge between the rolling, tumbling Tull of old and the tightly braided riffs and prickly lyrics presented by Aqualung.'[11]

Stand Up is the second studio album by the British rock band Jethro Tull, released in 1969. Before recordings for the album began, the band's original guitaristMick Abrahams resigned because of musical differences with Ian Anderson; Abrahams wanted to stay with the blues rock sound of their 1968 debut, This Was, while Anderson wished to add other musical influences such as folk rock. He was replaced by guitarist Martin Barre, who appeared on every subsequent Jethro Tull album.[1]
Stand Up represents the first album project on which Anderson was in full control of the music and lyrics. The result was an eclectic album with various styles appearing in its songs, yet an album which remained somewhat in the blues rock mold, which would be the last such album from Jethro Tull.
The album quickly went to No. 1 on the UK charts, while the non-album single 'Living in the Past' peaked at No. 3.[2]

Recording[edit]
The band began recording the album on 17 April 1969, starting with 'A New Day Yesterday'. They recorded 'Back to the Family' and 'Fat Man' on 21 April, 'Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square' on 22 April, 'Nothing Is Easy' and 'Bourée (Alternate version)' on 23 April, 'Bourée' along with 'Early in the Morning (Unfinished backing track)' on 24 April, 'Reasons for Waiting' on 26 April, 'For a Thousand Mothers' and 'We Used to Know' along with 'Play in Time (Backing track)' on 1 May and finally, 'Look into the Sun' on 21 May. All of the songs were recorded at Morgan Studios in north London, but 'Bourée' was recorded at Olympic Studios in south London because Morgan Studios was already booked for 24 April.[3] The general routine was that the band would arrive at the studio at 9 am to work on one or two songs which would be finished by 4 or 5 pm.[3] Recording engineer Andy Johns tried some new techniques; for example on 'A New Day Yesterday' he achieved a swirling, stereo-shifting guitar effect by swinging an expensive Neumann U67 microphone on its cable in wide circles around the studio.[4] The song 'Bourée' proved the most difficult session, with Anderson and the band unsatisfied with any of the takes they recorded. The final version was compiled later from several takes, with more touches added by Anderson.[5][6]
Album cover[edit]
The design of the album cover started with a visit to New Haven, Connecticut during a concert tour in late February 1969. Under the direction of producer Terry Ellis, the band met a woodcarver named James Grashow who followed them for a week in order to properly represent them in wood.[3] The resulting gatefold album cover, in a woodcut style designed by Grashow, originally opened up like a children's pop-up book so that a cut-out of the band's personnel stood up, evoking the album's title. Stand Up won New Musical Express's award for best album artwork in 1969. The pop-up was not carried over to the 1973 album reissue.
Musical style[edit]
Jethro Tull Benefit Album Review
The album still shows a great blues influence, as in the first track 'A New Day Yesterday'. The song 'Fat Man' shows an interest in unusual instrumentation, as Ian Anderson plays mandolin, one of the first times the instrument had been used by a rock band. The acoustic pieces, like 'Reasons for Waiting', already show Anderson under the influence of Roy Harper. The instrumental 'Bourée' (one of Jethro Tull's popular concert pieces) is a jazzy re-working of 'Bourrée in E minor' by Johann Sebastian Bach.[1] On the other hand, 'Nothing Is Easy' is a hard rock song featuring thrashing drum intervals from Clive Bunker and wailing electric guitar that contrasts with much of the more peaceful, acoustic material on the album.
Ian Anderson has said that the chord progression in 'We Used to Know' was picked up subconsciously by the Eagles when they toured together in 1971 or 1972 and used in their song 'Hotel California'.[7] However Don Felder, who wrote the music for 'Hotel California', did not join Eagles until 1974. In a 2016 interview, Anderson stated that the chord progression had likely been used in earlier songs and also called 'Hotel California' a 'much better song' than 'We Used to Know'.[8]
Themes[edit]
Although not a concept album, Stand Up lyrically is filled with references to Anderson's relationship with his parents (a subject continued on Benefit), especially in 'Back to the Family' and 'For a Thousand Mothers'. Observational poetry could also be found, as in 'Fat Man' and 'Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square'. The difficult life before the band's success were described in 'We Used to Know' – remembering the hard life Anderson and bassist Glenn Cornick had at the beginning of the group.[9]

Stand Up received mixed reviews upon its release, but more recent evaluations praised the album as a whole, for the production and musicianship.
The 1969 Rolling Stone review was quite positive, stating that the album 'has a fairly low raunch quotient, true to form, but it is quite marvellous' and also that 'the album is not really funky; rather, it is a meticulously crafted work (no sterility implied) which deserves careful listening. At a time when many of the established stars are faltering, it is a particular pleasure to hear an important new voice.'[14] The contemporary Disc and Music Echo review was less favourable; it considered the expensive cover the 'most impressive' part of the album and Jethro Tull a good live band but still incapable of producing a 'musically interesting' release.[17] American critic Robert Christgau reiterated his dislike of the band, but judged the album 'adequate' in his Village Voice review.[11]
A retrospective AllMusic review was positive, saying that the band had 'solidified their sound' with the album, bringing an 'English folk music' influence to several of the songs, atop an overall blues rock foundation.[10] Sean Murphy of PopMatters more emphatically wrote that Stand Up was a 'meaningful document from what turned out to be a very transitional moment in rock history.. a document created in a rapidly closing artistic window, pre-prog but post-British blues and psychedelic rock.' He praised the musicianship of the players and remarked the first examples of 'the first-rate lyricist Anderson would quickly become.'[12] The Record Collector review highlights how 'the album captured the band on a vertiginous upswing, jubilant with confidence following the drafting in of guitarist Martin Barre' and contained 'a fresh batch of diverse but uniformly strong compositions'.[13]
Legacy[edit]
A variety of rock artists have cited Stand Up as an all-time favourite album over the years, including Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder,[18]Aerosmith's Tom Hamilton,[19]Joe Bonamassa,[18] and Joe Satriani.[20]
During an interview with BraveWords in 2015, Anderson selected Stand Up as his favourite Tull album: 'I suppose if you were to really twist my arm, I would probably go back to 1969, with the Stand Up album, because that was my first album of first really original music. It has a special place in my heart.'[18]
Releases[edit]
The album was reissued in 1973 by Chrysalis Records.
In 1989 a MFSL remaster was released, with catalogue number UDCD 524. The booklet featured the pop-up woodcut band.
The album was reissued again in 2001 as a digital remaster, this time with 4 bonus tracks.
It was reissued on 5 October 2010 as a deluxe edition, including six bonus tracks on disc one, and two additional discs: a disc of live material recorded at Carnegie Hall on 4 November 1970, and a disc with a DTS surround mix. The material was mixed by Peter Mew at the Abbey Road studios.
It was released again in November 2016 in a box set with two CDs and one DVD, named Stand Up - The Elevated Edition. The box contains rare and previously unreleased music (such as an alternate take of 'Bourée', BBC tracks, radio spots) including new stereo and 5.1 mixes of the album and bonus tracks by Steven Wilson, and a live presentation, from a concert in Sweden in 1969, also remixed by Wilson. It also includes a 112-page booklet featuring track-by-track annotations by Ian Anderson, an extensive history of the album, rare and unseen photographs and a reproduction of the original pop-up book artwork designed by James Grashow.[21]
It was re-released again on 180 gram vinyl with the original tracks in February 2017. This time it came with the gatefold cover and the 'pop up' band inside.
