Parlophone have announced they’ll release Stand Up: The Elevated Edition by Jethro Tull on November 18.

The expanded version of the band’s second album has been remixed by Steven Wilson in 5.1 surround and stereo. The collection offers bonus tracks and live footage from a concert in Sweden, where they opened for Jimi Hendrix in 1969.

It will also feature the original album’s pop-up book artwork and an exclusive 112-page booklet, which includes an extensive history of the album and a track-by-track annotation by Ian Anderson. The packaging can be viewed below.

Anderson recently picked Stand Up as his favourite album, adding: “Because that was my first album of first really original music. It has a special place in my heart.”

Stand Up: The Elevated Edition can be pre-ordered on Jethro Tull’s website.
