Been listening to these a lot lately but I don't have and can't find The Power and the Glory. Anyone have an on-line store link that has it please ?

Yes it is a hard one to find. I couldn't find it on an online-store. I believe it is out of production. The only way i found it was buying their best of collection "Edge of Twilight". All 8 tracks are on there. You could also wait until the 35th anniversar

Yeah I had trouble finding this one too. Finally got it on Ebay. Ah well, used is better than nothing, and it was in perfect condition.

An overrated band in my eyes. Acquiring the Taste is a good album, but nothing special. And not very complex, not very prog either. Mediocre.

I just got The Power and the Glory as well as Free Hand on vinyl in the mail today. Incredible albums!!!! I love this band. I also own octopus, three friends, and in a glass house. A truly original and amazing band.

For those who can't find GG albums: be patient. A large number of them are being rereleased soon (including The Power And The Glory).

It happens every time! I get a bands complete catalog on CD, and they remaster them. It happened with Yes, Van Der Graaf Generator, Gong, and now GG! ARGH!
Oh, and they are a great band.

GG is one of my favorites. You can't find PATG? Hm, have you tried Amazon or anything like that?

One of the greatest prog rock bands of all time. I once played in a band called Ruff Midget, the name, of course, was inspired by Gentle Giant. "Whatever, whatever, You may know, you may know..." Not complex? Hmmm. Maybe not wh
