Gentle Giant

Acquiring The Taste

One of Giant’s most collectable albums from their repertoire and in ex + condition. Stunning album presentation !

1st press matrices : 6360041   1Y/2  1  1  / 4          2Y/2  1  1  /  2

Vertigo swirl label format on side A and track listings on side B

1st UK pressing and one of the most “highly sought after” Gentle Giant albums. Virtually UNMARKED against strong daylight. Remarkable condition with mirror like surfaces. Against a strong halogen, the odd light surface mark is visible.Gatefold sleeve in beautiful, undamaged format and virtually impossible to locate in this sensational condition . EX+ condition .

Original 1971 UK pressing

Complete with original vertigo swirl inner sleeve

An absolute delight to view .If it was not for several spindle lines on labels, would believe this vinyl had never been played save for a couple of times.

The blend of the instrumentation is quite adventurous and fascinating. The moog synthesiser integration was considered ground breaking at the time. The vinyl has been safely stored away for many years and has remained dormant for a considerable time. Therefore , dust particles are still lifting from these wider grooves during playback and aural delivery is still likely to improve with further play. Fantastic discovery and impossible to track down in this remarkable format .

Awesome addition to any serious vinyl collection
