Album Front Cover Photo
Highly stylized illustrated front cover of the Jethro Tull 1969 album 'Stand Up', showing caricature-like drawings of the four band members in intricate black and gold line art. From left to right: a bearded man with wavy hair clasping his hands, wearing a plaid jacket and a visible wristwatch; a man with a drooping expression and intense eyes wearing a black top hat and striped shirt; a smiling man wearing round glasses and a headband, holding a peeled banana or similar curved object; and a man lying sideways with a dense afro-like hairstyle, resting on his hands. The ornate background features dense foliage with the band name 'Jethro Tull' in large letters at the top and a ribbon reading 'Stand Up' across the bottom.

This cover features a meticulously detailed caricature drawing of the four band members in a surreal, comic-like composition. Rendered in black ink with golden highlights, the image presents an exaggerated, almost woodcut-style aesthetic.

From left to right: Ian Anderson is shown with thick, curly hair and a full beard, hands clasped together with pronounced knuckles and fingernails, wearing a checkered jacket and a visible round watch. Next is Glenn Cornick, gazing directly ahead with a solemn face, beneath a black top hat and pinstriped shirt. Beside him is Clive Bunker, smiling and relaxed, sporting tinted glasses and a patterned headband, holding a bent object resembling a banana. At the bottom, Martin Barre lies sideways with a large curly hairstyle, propped on his hands with a tired expression. Their bodies intertwine in a compact yet dynamic grouping.

Behind them is a lush background of abstract leaves and vines. The band name JETHRO TULL dominates the top in ornate lettering, while the album title STAND UP is curved dramatically along a scroll-like ribbon at the bottom. The visual is both playful and intense, reflecting the progressive, experimental nature of the band's music.

Centered is a circular illustration depicting the backs of the four band members walking arm-in-arm into a dense, ornate forest of golden leaves. Each figure is wearing period-style clothing, with the leftmost character raising his hand as if waving goodbye. The image is surrounded by a cream-colored background with minimal text. The catalog number 6307 519 and a D for Germany appear in the upper right. At the bottom, Chrysalis Records logo and manufacturing credits are printed, along with a stylized black plant stem extending from the circular artwork.

Beneath the circle is a black vine curling downward, rooted from the illustration, enhancing the organic motif.
