Jethro Tull~Rare CHRYSALIS UK ISLAND WHITE i LABEL FIRST PRESS Benefit EX 1970
Jethro Tull
Benefit
Original UK 1st press LP released in 1970 on the Green Chrysalis label with "Manufatered and distributed by Island Records" in white. Cat: ILPS9123.
Benefit was the album on which the Jethro Tull sound solidified around folk music, abandoning blues entirely. Beginning with the opening number, "With You There to Help Me," Anderson adopts his now-familiar, slightly mournful folksinger/sage persona, with a rather sardonic outlook on life and the world; his acoustic guitar carries the melody, joined by Martin Barre's electric instrument for the crescendos. This would be the model for much of the material on Aqualung and especially Thick as a Brick, although the acoustic/electric pairing would be executed more effectively on those albums. Here the acoustic and electric instruments are merged somewhat better than they were on Stand Up (on which it sometimes seemed like Barre's solos were being played in a wholly different venue), and as needed, the electric guitars carry the melodies better than on previous albums
