GENTLE GIANT Octopus (Mid 70s Italian spaceship label issue of the 1972 8-track LP, complete with lyric inner, the formidable fourth album which marked the last involvement of eldest Shulman brother Phil, & the first outing for third drummer John Weathers, who stayed with the band thereafter. Engineered by Martin Rushent [T-Rex, Yes, Buzzcocks, Stranglers], this is a cult classic among prog fans, including the brain-melting complexity of Knots, full of interlocking vocal harmonieswedded to bold symphonic rock sounds. The single pocket picture sleeve sh9ows a fair degree of shelfwear with a split to the top and a small tear at the opening but the vinyl remains in excellent condition with just a couple of light surface scuffs to show for over forty years)
