Description
Offered for sale is an original 1970 Japanese pressing of Stand Up by Jethro Tull, including the rare original "envelope" obi.
This album also features the "pop-up" insert inside the gatefold cover (see photo.)
Note: This album was part of the short-lived "World Rock Series" of albums that packaged the album in a die-cut envelope, rather than including a standard obi. The words "World New Rock" are die-cut into the front of the envelope. This series was short-lived and included just thirteen albums (including titles by the Mothers, the Doors, and the MC5) before the record company thought better of it and went back to using the regular obi style.
About this copy: This copy of Stand Up is a 1970 Japanese pressing on the Reprise label.
The "envelope" obi is VG, with a couple of neatly repaired minor tears and a small 3" (8 cm) missing piece near the right edge. There is a small stain near the upper left hand corner.
These envelopes were poorly designed and the album covers fit very tightly inside, making it very easy to tear them.
The cover is VG with slight edge and corner wear and quite a bit of foxing on the back side.
This album was not issued with a standard obi or a lyric insert. The lyrics are printed on the inside (!) of the envelope and the Japanese liner notes are printed on the back.
The disc is VG++ with a couple of faint sleeve scuffs and a small inaudible mark on the last track on side two. It's a clean disc that has had little play.
A nice copy of an album that is nearly impossible to find complete.
