Condition Description & Other Information ## British progressive rock band active between 1970 and 1980. Textually inspired by philosophy, personal events and the works of François Rabelais, the group's early compositional purpose was to "expand the frontiers of contemporary popular music at the risk of becoming very unpopular!" ## The Vinyl is described as Excellent+ and played to Near Mint, virtually no background & no skips or stops. Several spindle marks to both labels. There are a reasonable number of extremely fine hairlines & sleeve marks to both sides of the record, track B3 has a tiny feelable that plays with zero effect on sound. Both sides have very minor haze which again has no effect on sound & barely no effect on the vinyl's appearance. The Vinyl has retained nearly all of its rich waxy lustre. The Cover is described as VG+. There is some visible edge/spine & corner-wear. There are some fine cracks to spine & edges with associated wrinkles. There is some minor ring wear to front & verso. There are some colour losses to edges & spine. Both edges & spine have been nicely taped. Couple of minor stains here & there. The Inner Sleeve is described as Excellent with no seam splits. The Cut-Out Mask insert is VG+ with some minor taping on its verso. There is included a Mask that has been cut out from another front cover,,, the previous owner must have been a huge 'Gentle Giant' fan. Please see attached photos...
