Description
This is the second album release by UK PROGRESSIVE ROCK band GENTLE GIANT entitled ACQUIRING THE TASTE, released on the VERTIGO label. This was the band's breakthrough album, mainly with the sound and the production which developed through THREE FRIENDS and their eponymous 4th album OCTOPUS.
This release is on the SWIRL or SPIRAL label, made in ITALY (not sure if this is a re-release or first pressing). This was bought STILL SEALED and have managed to keep the cellophane round the sleeve. PLEASE NOTE - this is a single sleeve and not the gatefold sleeve of the UK release.
LABEL - VERTIGO SWIRL (ITALY PRESSING)
CATALOGUE NO. - 6360 041?1/2 =1 520 240971
RECORD CONDITION - NEAR MINT
SLEEVE CONDITION - EXCELLENT
COMMENTS - VINYL HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED, IN VISUALLY PRISTINE CONDITION. PLAYBACK IS FINE, WITH SOME SLIGHT SURFACE NOISE THOUGH THIS DOES NOT DISTRACT FROM THE STRONG AUDIO ON EACH TRACK. THIS IS A GREAT FILLER IF YOU'RE AFTER A UK PRESSING, ESPECIALLY AS IT IS QUITE RARE.
THE SLEEVE COVER IS IN GREAT CONDITION, BAR THE LAMINATION ON MAIN COVER. PROBABLY DUE TO THE ALBUM BEING STILL IN IT'S CELLOPHANE BEFORE OPENING, IT HAS 'CREASED' CAUSING SEVERAL TINY BUMPS TO APPEAR, THOUGH I SPSOE HAVING THE CELLOPHANE STILL ON HELPS TO PROTECT THE COVER. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A "GATEFOLD" SLEEVE, BUT A SINGLE SLEEVE, WITH THE ARTWORK WRAPPED ROUND & CREDITS ON THE BACK.
