The early Jethro Tull released its first Blues-oriented album, This Was, in the latter part of 1968 before moving on to more home-grown and eclectic efforts in 1969 with Stand Up and a flurry of single releases, including Living In The Past, in the UK market.
Benefit, Aqualung, and Thick As A Brick followed and the success of the band grew internationally. Various band members came and went, but the charismatic front man and composer, flautist and singer Ian Anderson continued to lead the group through its various musical incarnations.
Over the next few years, the band expanded its repertoire with new musical influences and the participation of new members and received numerous awards in recognition its long career, including the Order of the British Empire awarded by Queen Elizabeth II of England to Ian Anderson.
