From Loudersound.
UK prog legends Gentle Giant have announced they will reissue their eleventh and final studio album, Civilian, on vinyl and CD this Spring.
In a short statement the band said: “Happy new years Giant fans! We have an exciting update for you: In the spring of 2022, the original version of Gentle Giant’s final album Civilian will finally be reissued on CD & Vinyl. Stay tuned for more!”
There’s no more info at this stage, but the band’s reissues of their first four albums back in 2020 were pressed on 180 gram vinyl and feature their original gatefold sleeves and artwork, while reissues of Octopus and The Power And The Glory were remixed by Steven Wilson.
Civilian, recorded at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys with Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick was released in 1980. The album contained shorter, more commercial material. The band split after a short US tour. Some rare footage of the Miami show on that final tour resurfaced recently.

- Gentle Giant - Acquiring The Taste - 1st - G - UK - vinyl LP - £95.00, $122.55, €113.05 (New Item) (arrived 15-Jul-2024 16:48)on July 26, 2024 at 7:55 am
GENTLE GIANT Acquiring The Taste (1971 first UK issue 8-track vinyl LP on the Vertigo 'swirl' label. This album took the band into more experimental & darker areas but is still their own recognisable sound - a rich blend of hard rock & orchestration - with hints of influences from King Crimson & Van Der Graaf Generator, housed in a gatefold picture sleeve with the poly lined 'swirl' die-cut inner. The sleeve displays some minor general wear with some edge & corner scuffing, but still pretty good considering it was never laminated. The labels have a few light spindle marks and light signs of age, with a handwritten 'B' to Side 2, and a small scuff to each side, not affecting play. Not Mint, but an ideal play copy)

The labels have a few light spindle marks and light signs of age, whilst the vinyl has only a few light signs of play. Overall a Very Good example, making an ideal play copy)
