SLEEVE NOTES: Five tracks of this album are the individual ideas, personally arranged and organised, by the five members of the Band.
"Cans And Brahms" is an adaptation by Rick Wakeman of the third movement of Brahms' 4th Symphony on which he plays electric piano taking the part of the strings, grand piano taking the part of the woodwind, organ taking the brass, electric harpsichord taking reeds, and synthesizer taking contra bassoon.
"We Have Heaven" is a personal idea by Jon Anderson in which he sings all the vocal parts.
"Five Per Cent For Nothing" is a sixteen bar tune by Bill Bruford, played twice by the Group, and taken directly from the percussion line.
In Chris Squire's "The Fish", each riff, rhythm, and melody is produced by using the different sounds of the bass guitar.
Steve Howe concludes with a solo guitar piece "Mood For A Day"
The remaining tracks on the album are Group arranged and performed.
Side 1: Roundabout / Cans And Brahms / We Have Heaven / South Side Of The Sky
Side 2: Five Percent For Nothing / Long Distance Runaround / The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus) / Mood For A Day / Heart Of The Sunrise
LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, unmarked labels - light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like-new
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Apart from some surface on the quiet run-in to "Roundabout" and in-between some of the tracks (nothing unexpected or troublesome) the record plays beautifully throughout with little else to fault - great copy of my favourite album of all time - a very, very strong EX
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Fine example - light rub to the edges/corners but clean and unmarked and the inner booklet is as-new
