Gentle Giant release new video to celebrate 50th anniversary of Octopus

GENTLE GIANT Acquiring The Taste (Rare 1971 UK first press 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 and Van Der Graaf Generator. Complete with the poly-lined 'swirl' inner and lyrics printed across the inside, the gatefold picture sleeve has some light shelfwear scuffing to the edges / corners and has a vintage price sticker attached to the front, while also displays some spots of age discolouration but its pretty damn good considering it was never laminated. With just a few light signs of play visible, the vinyl remains in fantastic Excellent condition for its over FIFTY years. Now hard to find in any condition!)

GENTLE GIANT Three Friends (Rare 1973 UK 6-track LP on the small Vertigo 'swirl' label with second variant 'Made In England' label text, matt gatefold picture sleeve with die-cut poly-lined swirl inner. The sleeve shows only minimal signs of storage with very little shelf wear for its age & the vinyl shows few signs of play)

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, and hassome strange blank ink marks on the back, but still pretty damn good considering it was never laminated. 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)

GENTLE GIANT Octopus (Rare 1972 UK first press 8-track LP on the Vertigo 'swirl' label, housed in a Roger Dean designed gatefold picture sleeve, complete with the die-cut poly-lined 'swirl' inner. The sleeve displays just some minor general wear with minimal discolouring & corner or edge wear, the spine print is clearly legible. The labels have a few spindle marks whilst the vinyl remains clean with only a few light surface scuffs & hairlines not affecting play. Overall this is a VeryGood+ example of this progressive masterpiece!)

GENTLE GIANT Gentle Giant (Mid 70s UK second issue of the debut 1970 7-track LP on the 'spaceship' Vertigo label, the innovative first album from the Shulman brothers & co, including the big-riff laden opener, Giant, & staple, longterm live set regulars, Funny Ways & Isn't It Quiet And Cold, featuring the late, first drummer Martin Smith, housed in the brilliant 'Giant with band in hands' gatefold picture sleeve. The sleeve shows just a little light general wear whilst the vinyl displays faint hairlines, which have no real impact on play)
