I'm not too big on Strawbs, but that's personal choice. I can't comment on Horizont or Nektar. PFM all seems well and good, but are you getting the English or Italian version of L'isola? It's hard to tell with that description, and obviously the Italian version's the better of the two.
Gryphon - first four. Fantastic. :D
After Crying - Fold Es Eg. Not the place for a newcomer to their music. Much better to start with Megalothingummywing or De Profundis. If you're already a fan and you like ELP then go right ahead.

Hope that helps. :)

Beware of Doug...

Who's Doug?

 he means Doug Larson whose link is on almost every page!

Doug was fast and correct (both in price, quality and service) when concerning CDs. Re the old vinyls, I am a bit less positive. He is expensive and the state of the discs is a bit over-rated. I will not order further vinyls to him. But as far as CDs are concerned.

As for your list Aaron, it s quite a fine selection as far as Italian groups are concerned! However if you have not listened to Banco , yet , get an ear on it before ordering those three CDs (they are the classic ones , though). Banco is rather difficult at first!

If it is the Gryphon box-set with the Mini-lp cardboard covers, Go for it! Recycled is among the best Nektar album!

I am not a big fan of After Crying but I believe De Profundis is the best one along with 6.

Doug actually responded to an email? Wow.
