Description

I purchased this LP in Newport Beach, CA in 1973. It was in the imports section. It has been played only a few times. It wasn't really my taste in music so I stuck it in the rack and there it sat for all these years. You may notice in the photos that the side 2 label on the LP is off center. I looks a bit strange spinning on the turntable. It plays great. The sound quality is fantastic as are many UK imports. If you're a fan of this band or this genre of music is your bag, this is a good one. The cover jacket is in pretty good condition. The inside has some age spots inside??(see the photo) and red ink "+" next to the track names.

Rolling Stone Magazine’s 50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All Time:#16. Gentle Giant, 'Octopus' (1972)

“It was the swan-song for multi-instrumentalist Phil Shulman and the debut for drummer John Weathers, the grooviest percussionist in all of prog, and Giant leave no weird musical stone unturned. “ Rolling Stone
