Limited to 500 copies, black vinyl released in beautiful, laminated cover with cool pictures of the band. Gentle Giant were British progressive rock band similar to early Genesis, King Crimson and Jethro Tull.
This 58 minute album contains early radio sessions (live in studio with some basic overdubs) and unreleased studio tracks done at the time of their first 4 albums It also included some very good compositions unreleased on any band's studio album!
The pressing is just fantastic (no noises at all) and the sound quality is perfect.
