About The Record:

Benefit was the first Jethro Tull album to include pianist and organist John Evan though he was not yet a permanent member of the group and the last to include bass guitarist Glenn Cornick. This album was more hard-rocking and transcended, relying less on blues influences. It also incorporated more advanced studio techniques, such as backward-recorded flute (on With You There To Help Me) and piano, and sped-up guitar (on Play In Time). The album peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Albums Chart. The song Inside was released as a single.
