Chronologie
- This Was Stand Up

This Was ist das erste Studioalbum der britischen Progressive-Rock-Band Jethro Tull. Es wurde 1968 im Sound Techniques Studio in Chelsea, London aufgenommen und im gleichen Jahr in Großbritannien veröffentlicht. Es erreichte Platz 10 in den britischen Charts[1] und Platz 62 in den Billboard 200.[2] Im Gegensatz zu den späteren Alben stammen die Stücke nicht ausschließlich vom Sänger und Bandleader Ian Anderson. Der Gitarrist Mick Abrahams hatte am Schreiben der Stücke einen wesentlichen Anteil. Er verließ die Band jedoch nach diesem Album und wurde von Martin Barre ersetzt.

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Stil

Stilistisch ist This was sehr uneinheitlich. Die Palette reicht vom Blues mit akustischen Instrumenten (Some Day the Sun Won't Shine for You) über das Cover eines Jazz-Titels von Roland Kirk (Serenade to a Cuckoo) mit dem für Ian Anderson typischen Querflötenspiel bis hin zum Progressive Rock (My Sunday Feeling und Beggar's Farm), in welchem die späteren Jethro Tull anklingen. Auf dem Stück Move Alone ist auch Mick Abrahams anstelle Ian Andersons als Sänger zu hören.
