Gentle Giant
'Three Friends'
Vertigo, UK, 1972
6360 070
STUNNING ALBUM for the Vertigo label and arguably its their best. Complex, conceptual and complicated progressive rock with all the right moves, compounded by a complete disregard for form and function. 'Proloque', 'Schooldays', 'Peel The Paint' and 'Mister Class And Quality' lead the assault, the latter inparticular achieving a level of complexity that is truly mind blowing.
Tough to score in any shape let alone in top condition.
Pressing: Vertigo, UK, 1972 - original swirl label
Vinyl: Superb clean condition - I would say maybe three or plays at the most. Vinyl is incredibly shiny with that just pressed look. One lone spindle mark but no other signs of use whatsoever. Track listing states 'Feel The Paint' later corrected to 'Peel The Paint'. Grades as a very, very strong MINT-!
Cover: Again, only minimal signs of use. Issued in a beautifully illustrated gatefold cover. Sharp corners, no dings, no bends, no ring wear, no split seams and no creases. Spine is straight, stiff and totally uncrushed. Beautiful and impossible to find like this 53 years after release. Grades as Ex
Inserts: Original swirl inner bag
Matrix:
