The experimentation, however, gives the album a very late 60's/early 70's feel which may sound dated and unapproachable to the modern rock ear.
Mostly recorded in December 1969 and January 1970, "Benefit" was the band’s first album to feature keyboards – played by the band’s old school chum John Evan.
During the "Benefit" tour, Tull headlined some of the biggest concert halls in the U.S. However, the musicians' diverse personalities and harsh schedules were not meshing.

This album was released in April, 2005 on the Russian MALS label for distribution in Russia and CIS states, and is also distributed by Musea Records for Europe and Kinesis Records in the United States.
