This auction is for the incredibly hard to find second Gentle Giant album "Acquiring the Taste" issued in 1971. Extremely hard to find second GG album which is of supreme musical importance for any true prog lover!!

Vinyl: VG++ to EX. They don't come much better than this. It has only a couple of light wispy hairlines and just a couple of wispy paper sleeve removal traces only visible under a strong light. On replay it only gets better. Incredible strong stereo separation with nearly silent (barely any crackle etc.) replay. Needless to say this vinyl has no major problems at all. NO jumps, NO skips, NO sticks etc.

Gatefold sleeve: EX.  Again this has to be seen to be believed. A properly looked after sleeve with just one tiny 1.5 cm tear on the opening (see pic). This is very minimal and is surely offset by the splendid overall condition of this gatefold which also benefits a beautiful crisp opening and spine which has no lettering making it a first press proper. This sleeve has no major creases!! There is nothing untoward like writing or stains.  For many it will be an upgrade.

The original inner sleeve is also still present. It has the original 0671 date stamp.It is fine without any splits and just age related yellowing.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
