Description
This is the "ACQUIRING THE TASTE" 1971 UK LP by GENTLE GIANT - the 2nd LP released by GENTLE GIANT.
Gentle Giant were a very inventive and musically gifted band, capable of beautiful melodic music but also superb complex riff rock music.
The LP still sounds great today, and showcases both sides of their music to perfection.
The LP was bought on its release in 1971, and is an early 1st pressing.
The vinyl is on the very collectable VERTIGO label, number 6360041, and has the following 1st press matrix numbers:
- Side 1: 1 6360041 1Y#2 42 1 1 6
- Side 2: 1 6360041 *#2Y **2 1 1 5

Record is MINT-, the vinyl is unmarked, with no noticeable spindle marks on side A, and only a few on side B, which can only be seen only in strong light.
It does not look like a 41-year old record.
The LP plays superbly, and sounds like a new record, with no pops or bangs, and is very quiet between tracks.
The cover is VG+, and is a gatefold with "VO PRICE CODE" and was not laminated, but is in good shape.
The inside of the gatefold is undamaged and in good condition, with some minimal marks due to ageing.
Surprisingly for a record of this age it has no ringwear on the back cover and only some partial ringwear on the front cover.
There is some slight wear on the corners and due to storage, and some minor handling marks.
The spine is intact with no noticeable wear.
The record sleeve is the original VERTIGO swirl, with just some discolouring of the white background on the edges only, due to its age.
Please see my feedback on selling LPs over the last couple of years.
The record will be packed in a stiff package specifically designed for sending vinyl throught the post, with added protection on the corners
