(US)' Released: 24th April 1970 (UK) Benefit is the third album by the British band, released in April 1970. It was the first Tull album to include pianist and organist – though he was not yet a permanent member of the group – and the last to include bass guitarist. It was recorded at the same studio of the previous album, but the band experimented with more advanced recording techniques. Singer said that Benefit is a much darker album than the 1969 predecessor,, owing to the pressures of an extensive U.S.

Tour and frustration with the music business. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Production [ ] Guitarist said that Benefit was a lot easier to make than previous albums, as the success of Stand Up allowed the musicians more artistic latitude. Bassist stated that the band's intention was to capture a more 'live' feeling as 'I felt the last one sounded like a group of session musicians performing various songs.

It was pretty cold.' Benefit incorporated studio techniques such as reverse recording (flute and piano tracks on 'With You There to Help Me'), and manipulating the tape speed (guitar on 'Play in Time'). In a 1970 interview Anderson noted that the addition of keyboardist had changed the band's style: 'John has added a new dimension musically and I can write more freely now.

In fact anything is possible with him at the keyboard'. Musical style [ ] Ian Anderson said that Benefit was a 'guitar ' album, recorded in a year in which artists like, and were becoming more riff-oriented. Anderson also noted that Benefit is 'a rather dark and stark album and, although it has a few songs on it that are rather okay, I don't think it has the breadth, variety or detail that Stand Up has.

But it was an evolution in terms of the band playing as 'a band.' ' Overall, Anderson considered the album 'a natural part of the group's evolution'. According to Martin Barre 'To Cry You a Song' was a response to 's 'Had to Cry Today', 'although you couldn't compare the two; nothing was stolen. The riff crossed over the bar in a couple of places and Ian and I each played guitars on the backing tracks. It was more or less live in the studio with a couple of overdubs and a solo. Ian played my and I played a on it.'

Releases [ ] The UK and the US release are different: the US version (with flute) of 'Teacher' was placed on side two of the album and the track 'Alive and Well and Living In' was excluded. In the UK 'Teacher' was the B-side of the non-album single 'Witch's Promise' and fluteless. In 2013 The Collector’s Edition of Benefit was released. It contains bonus tracks mixed by, a disc with mono and stereo mixes of rare and previously unreleased versions of tracks and singles and an audio-only DVD that includes a surround sound mix of the original album. The Collector's Edition also includes a booklet featuring an 8,000-word essay written by, as well as interviews with band members and a selection of photos, some previously unseen.
