FOR YOUR COLLECTION:

       LATE 1970'S GENTLE GIANT PROMO-ONLY PACKAGE WITH

            'MISSING A PIECE' PUZZLE, PUZZLE BOX, AND PROMO 'FOR A DAY' 'MASK' SET

                THE PUZZLE AND MATCHING PUZZLES BOX FEATURE THE FAMOUS GENTLE

            GIANT 'THREE-FRIENDS' ALBUM COVER BUT WITH AN (INTENTIONAL) 'MISSING PIECE' SO

         THERE'S A SMALL MYSTERY AS TO THIS PROMO PACKAGE'S ACTUAL DATE OF RELEASE

       THE IMAGE IS FROM 'THREE FRIENDS' BUT -WITH- A 'MISSING PIECE' SO IT IS A SPECIAL

      KIND OF RECORD INDUSTRY HUMOR AT PLAY HERE...

         YES, THE BOX COVER IS OF A COMPLETE '3 FRIENDS'  IMAGE BUT -NOT- THE PUZZLE:

           THIS IS APPARANTLY THE WAY IT WAS SENT OUT FOR PROMOTION TO MUSIC INDUSTRY

             TYPES IN THE LATE 1970'S

              ABSOLUTELY THIS WAS (ALWAYS) MISSING THE --LARGE-- PIECE FROM THE

               'GIANT'S FOREHEAD' BUT THE OTHER (EDGE) PIECE (UNFORTUNATELY) IN THIS OFFERING

            COULD -NOT- BE LOCATED AT THE D.J.'s HOUSE SALE.....

              RARE AS YOU-KNOW-WHAT EVEN IN THIS SLIGHTLY-MISSING A MISSING PIECE STATE

  THE ORIGINAL GENTLE GIANT 'FOR A DAY' MASK -STILL- HAS -ONE- OF

  IT'S --ORIGINAL-- AND RARE 'PUPILS' LEFT WHICH IS --NEVER-- SEEN EBAY-OFFERED

     CHECK THE OTHER EBAY ENTERTAINMENT MEMORABILIA LISTINGS:  NO 'PUPILS' OFFERED

   IT IS MY BELIEF AND IMPRESSION THAT:

THIS PACKAGE WAS SENT OUT 'COMPLETE' THIS WAY TO CERTAIN MUSIC INDUSTRY TYPES

      IN THE LATE 1970'S....

 THIS PACKAGE WAS LOCATED AT

         A (FAMOUS) D.J.'s 'CLEARANCE SALE' IN --THIS-- BOXED-PUZZLE STATE SO

 IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY
 
         THAT THESE  -WERE- SENT OUT FROM COLUMBIA RECORDS IN THIS 'COMPLETE' STATE....

 AGAIN:

          THE PUZZLE AND MATCHING PUZZLES BOX FEATURE THE FAMOUS GENTLE

            GIANT 'THREE-FRIENDS' ALBUM COVER BUT WITH 'MISSING PIECE' SO THERE'S

             SOME MYSTERY AS TO THIS PROMO PACKAGE'S ACTUAL DATE

              ABSOLUTELY THIS WAS ALWAYS MISSING THE --LARGE-- PIECE FROM THE

               GIANT'S FOREHEAD BUT THE OTHER PIECE (UNFORTUNATELY COULD NOT BE

                LOCATED AT THE D.J.'s HOUSE SALE.....

              RARE AS YOU-KNOW-WHAT EVEN IN THIS SLIGHTLY-MISSING A MISSING PIECE STATE

           THE PUZZLE BOX IS INCREDIBLY --FRAGILE-- AND HAS BEEN LOVINGLY AND PARTIALLY

         RESTORED FOR SHIPMENT....

        IT IS MY STUDIED BELIEF THAT THE MASK WAS INCLUDED AS A 'BONUS' FROM

       COLUMBIA AS SHIPPED OUT EVEN THOUGH IT IS FROM ANOTHER ALBUM RELEASE

      THE ALBUM IMAGE IS FROM EARLY 1970'S, THE 'MISSING PIECE' CONCEPT IS FROM 1977

     AND THE MASK IS FROM 1978 SO MY EDUCATED GUESS IS THAT THIS ENTIRE PACKAGE

   WAS SENT OUT AROUND 1978 OR SO AS ALL THE 'PARTS' WERE FOUND GATHERED TOGETHER

 IN THE --ONE-- PUZZLE BOX.... IT'S A SMALL BUT COLLECTIBLE MYSTERY AS FAR AS I CAN TELL

THIS WILL BE SHIPPED AND SOLD TOGETHER

  ONE THING FOR SURE: YOU'LL NOT SOON AGAIN SEE ANY SUCH 'MASK' WITH IT'S ORIGINAL

    'PUPIL' !

       THE COMPLETE PACKAGE WILL BE CAREFULLY BUBBLE-WRAPPED FOR SHIPMENT

       Please read the description fully and look at the photos and and ask any questions (AND ESPECIALLY SHIPPING QUESTIONS) prior to purchasing
