GENTLE GIANT - RARE AND OUT-OF-PRINT, ORIGINAL UK IMPORT, "IN A GLASS HOUSE" A DELUXE FIRST-EDITION PRESSING W/PLASTIC DIE-CUT STENCIL ON A TEXTURED COVER. SEE PHOTOS FOR GREATER DETAILS!
Always ranked as one of the top progressive rock groups of the 1970's in all the on-line music magazines! In a Bruce Eder review in AllMusic.com, he says . . .
Gentle Giant was reduced to a quintet on In a Glass House with the departure of elder brother Phil Shulman, but its sound is unchanged, and the group may actually be tighter without the presence of his saxophones. The time signatures are still really strange, and the tempo changes are sometimes jarring, as is the wide range of dynamics, but this is also one of the group's most pleasing records -- they rock out in various places, and elsewhere perform all kinds of little experiments with percussion instruments ("An Inmate's Lullaby"), or create a strange, otherworldly sort of modern medieval-style music ("Way of Life"). None of it except possibly "A Reunion" is light listening, but the challenge does yield some rewarding sounds.
This LP consistently sells for $100.00 or more on eBay auctions!
Of Note: Utilizing Discogs information on Matrix imprints, I can report that this recording has a more unique numbering scheme than any of the ones that they list. Although Side A of Variant #10 is the same (on my disc) as they list ( WWA 002 1V//1 11 with the name "Ray" etched) in the matrix band. Side B of the matrix has a totally different set of numbers than ANY they list.
My B-side matrix reads as follows: WWA 002 2Y//4 11 12
