5.0 out of 5 starsThe Pinnacle of early Tull
By Tetherwald on November 12, 2013
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
A great album just got greater with Steven Wilson's stunning stereo and 5.1 remixes.

Benefit is to my ears the culmination of a brilliant band's early efforts. Every song is solid, and the band had gelled perfectly by this point. Aqualung by comparison contains a few classics weighed down by several filler tracks and extreme flute over-indulgence (My God, that goes on forever!). It's similar to the way Revolver has aged much more gracefully than Sgt. Pepper. Add in the vastly superior sonics of Morgan Studios (compared to the church/barn that Aqualung was recorded in), and Glenn Cornick's exquisite bass playing (Jeffrey Hammond was still learning how to play), and there's no competition: Benefit is hands down the better of the two releases.

But it really was a different sounding record as well, and until the new liner notes, I couldn't quite figure out why Tull's sound changed so drastically from Benefit to Aqualung. It's not just the loss of Glenn's fluid bass playing. I'd always assumed that the multi-layered electric guitars on Benefit were all Martin Barre, but now it is revealed that Ian played a mean Les Paul too! And to know they were inspired by the recent Blind Faith album, it's no coincidence that the dueling Gibsons sound an awful lot like Steve and Eric on "Had to Cry Today".

Benefit also marked Ian's peak in harmonizing parallel fifths, both in vocal and guitar lines. Fifths are verboten in classical music, but used correctly, they make for extremely powerful rock riffs, which Martin made note of in the CD booklet.

The liner notes imply that very little of this material was stage-worthy, which is why it's mostly overlooked in the Tull repertoire. I beg to differ.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsMy favorite Tull CD - for that reason this is a mixed bag - "Death by Tull CD"?
By Samuel B. King on November 1, 2013
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Jethro Tull themselves, except Martin Barre, kind of dismiss this album (dates me, LOL!), as a hodge podge between Stand Up and Aqualung. I beg to differ, viewing it as the mountain top between Stand Up (the "Run UP"), and Aqualung (where they began their descent into progressive rock). Needless to say, it includes some of their best writing and arguably Martin Barre's best playing. I bought the album when it first came out and saw the tour supporting it. I have listened it during my youth (in various states of awareness - LOL) and have grown old with it. These songs are old friends.

For this reason, I find the new mixes a "mixed bag" (pun intended). My orientation to this album is via the U.S. edition, so the removal of "Teacher" from the normal track listing makes this version seem out of place. I know various versions are included on Dics 1, but, you get the drift.

Now for the 2013 mixes. "With You there to help me" really shines in the new version.
Particularly interesting on "Nothing to Say" is the mixing of vocals higher on the coda. I hadn't noticed those nice harmonies before.
"Son" really cooks, shining the light on Martin Barre's superb rhythm playing and riffing.
"To Cry You a Song" remains basically the same to my ears, an excellent song in true Blind Faith tradition. LOL!!
My big complaint is with "A time for everything". A major part of that song for me is the sustained note from Martin's Junior in the 2nd or 3rd verse. That alsays inspired me. This time it is mixed way down in the mix. Too bad. I know the other version is on disc 2, but, unless you have a multidisc player, you can't listen to it in sequence.
There are other, more minor issues, but i won't go further.
The liner notes are great.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsReview of the 2013 `Deluxe' edition of Jethro Tull's `Benefit'
By The Guardian TOP 500 REVIEWER on October 29, 2013
Format: Audio CD
Released in April 1970, `Benefit' was Jethro Tull's third album after the successful but unremarkable R&B-themed debut `This Was' and its best-selling follow-up `Stand Up'.

It was on `Benefit' that the band finally found its definitive sound, introducing jazz-influenced syncopated rhythms and changes of pace, more complex song structures and thoughtful, clever lyrics. Flute, acoustic guitar and cascading piano runs share the soundscape with hard rock guitar and a tight but never over-dominant rhythm section. Every track is a star, and the album is a complete listening experience with a distinctive character unlike anything heard before or since; an album you can listen to year after year and always find something in the music you never heard before. It's full of distinctive individual songs, rather than (like the later `Thick as a Brick' and `Passion Play') an attempt at a single-story concept album. The result has more than a hint of that eccentric genius so characteristic of the best English rock music of the period: it stretches the envelope, breaks the rules and is anything but formulaic.

This 2013 `Collector's Edition' is remixed by sound wizard Steven Wilson, who has performed minor miracles with the classic King Crimson `40th Anniversary' series. It's presented in a fine 4-gatefold sleeve with the original vinyl album artwork, with three chunky plastic inserts for the disks (2x CDs & a sound-only DVD) and a fourth slot for a lavish 48-page booklet dominated by a long essay on the history of the recording of `Benefit' by Martin Webb. You also get an exhaustive track-by-track analysis, full details of the 1970 promotional tour, period photos of the band and shorter essays by manager Terry Ellis and Steven Wilson himself.Read more ›
