GENTLE GIANT, BRITISH PROGRESSIVE ROCK GIANTS, WITH 5 ALBUMS RECORDED FROM 1972 TO 1977. ALL FIVE COVERS HAVE
WATER DAMAGE, BUT THE ALBUMS ARE ALL FINE, VISUALLY RATED VG+ OR BETTER. SEE PICTURES OR E-MAIL IF ANY QUESTIONS.
FROM 1972, THEIR 3RD ALBUM RELEASE ON THE COLUMBIA LABEL, COMES "THREE FRIENDS", THEIR FIRST CONCEPT ALBUM,
BASED ON PROGRESSION OF 3 BOYS TO MANHOOD. NEXT UP, ALBUM #4, ALSO FROM 1972, WAS THEIR HARD DRIVING, ROCK
ALBUM " OCTOPUS", ON THE VERTIGO LABEL. THIS UK IMPORT ALBUM CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE THEIR BEST ALBUM.
iNCLUDED "KNOTS". THE 3RD ALBUM OF THE COLLECTION, FROM 1974 (ALBUM #6) AND A SWITCH TO THE CAPITOL LABEL, IS
"THE POWER AND THE GLORY" THEIR 3RD CONCEPT ALBUM, LINKING POWER AND CORRUPTION AS THE CENTRAL THEME. THIS IS
FOLLOWED BY 1976'S "INTERVIEW", THEIR 8TH ALBUM, ALSO ON CAPITOL LABEL, ANOTHER CONCEPT ALBUM BASED ON AN
IMAGINARY INTERVIEW WITH THE BAND. AND THEN FINALLY, WE HAVE THE 1977 ALBUM ON CAPITOL, "THE MISSING PIECE", THEIR
10TH ALBUM. RECORDED IN THENETHERLANDS, TRANSITIONAL ALBUM WITH DELVING INTO SOME POP ROCK/PUNK/BLUE EYED
SOUL. ALL IN ALL A REALLY NICE ASSORTMENT OF VARIED GENRES FROM THIS SEMINAL BRITISH EXPERIMENTAL PROGRESSIVE
ROCK BAND.
