Description

This Rare LP is called Acquiring the Taste and is the second studio album by British progressive rock band Gentle Giant, released in 1971 on the Vertigo label. The album was a departure from the blues and soul styles found on their self-titled debut album. This album is more experimental, more discordant, and with more varied instrumentation. In the sleeve text, the band made this famous declaration: It is our goal to expand the frontiers of contemporary popular music at the risk of being very unpopular. We have recorded each composition with the one thought – that it should be unique, adventurous and fascinating. The opening song "Pantagruel's Nativity" is inspired by the books of Gargantua and Pantagruel by François Rabelais. Other greatr songs on here are "Edge of Twilight" , "The Moon Is Down" , "Black Cat" and "Plain Truth" !


The Cover is in Very Good plus Condition(see pictures), The Vinyl is in Excellent condition(few tiny light sleeve scuffs, but no scratches) Sounds Great!
