Description
Genius of Original Force has become a pricey item on the collectable LP market—and with good reason: it’s a great album and a rare one. If you enjoy Gentle Giant, you’re really going to like these guys! The singing’s in English with rich vocal harmonies that are a dead ringer for those of the mighty Giant. As Crack in the Cosmic Egg notes: “they certainly had all the very complex arrangements and adept interactive vocal harmonies (cross chanting, canons, chorales, etc.) that characterised Gentle Giant, yet they also had their own style being a much darker, weirder, cosmic and gothic styled band on the ambitious Genius Of Original Force. An album that aptly became a sought after collectible.” All around excellent progressive rock and recommended whether you’re a G.G. fan or not. Released in Germany on the small Kerston label in 1977, this comes in a laminated gatefold cover and includes an insert. The cover is in Ex- and the record is in Ex++ condition.

International Customers: Please DO NOT use the Checkout (Pay Now) option, or you may end up paying more for postage than is necessary, as eBay tends to calculate shipping and handling on the high side. Instead, wait for me to contact you with an invoice and the correct total amount due. I will do my best to contact you within a day of the auction’s end. Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges (typically collected upon delivery or pickup) are the buyer’s responsibility and are not included in the item price or shipping charges. Please check with your country’s customs office prior to bidding/buying to determine what these additional costs will be.
