Gentle Giant

'Three Friends'

Vertigo, UK, 1972

6360 070

STUNNING ALBUM for the Vertigo label and arguably its their best. Complex, conceptual and complicated progressive rock with all the right moves, compounded by a complete disregard for form and function. 'Proloque', 'Schooldays', 'Peel The Paint' and 'Mister Class And Quality'  lead the assault, the latter inparticular achieving a level of complexity that is truly mind blowing.

Tough to score in any shape let alone in top condition.

Pressing: Vertigo, UK, 1972 - original swirl label

Vinyl: Superb clean condition - I would say maybe three or plays at the most. Vinyl is incredibly shiny with that just pressed look. One lone spindle mark but no other signs of use whatsoever. Grades as a very, very strong MINT-!

Cover: Again, only minimal signs of use. Issued in a beautifully illustrated gatefold cover. Sharp corners, no dings, no bends, no ring wear, no split seams and no creases. Spine is straight, stiff and totally uncrushed. Displays some sun bleaching to the rear of the spine and there is, what can only be described as, a 'ghost' sticker mark on the front lower right corner. The only real flaw is that the original owner stamped his name on the front and back of the cover and label - See photos. Don't worry as you can see these are very unobtrusive. Beautiful and impossible to find like this 44 years after release. Grades as Ex

Inserts: Original swirl inner bag
