A scarce very early UK second pressing of Jethro Tull’s classic album Stand Up, on Island Records, with the Pink Block label.  Stand Up was released in August, 1969; it was the second-to-last album Island released using their Pink Eye label.  This slightly later 1969 pressing has the same +A/+B stampers and is otherwise identical.  The disc  is in Near Mint/Excellent ++ condition (a silent fingernail type mark on one side is the reason for the lower grade), and it plays beautifully.  The gatefold cover with pop-up center is in Excellent + condition with some very light wear and a small ink mark to the back; there is some rubbing to the spine that affects the legibility of the band name and catalog number (they are for the most part readable.)  A clean copy of an outstanding 60’s album.
