I hope 'Power and the Glory' gets a re-release. You need a king's ransom to buy this on Amazon at the moment. It's more scarce than return-journey kamikazee pilots. ------------- Haiku Writing a poem With seventeen syllables Is very diffic.... |

I've found it to be the hardest of the Classic GG to get, still don't have it.  ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |

It is sold absolutely nowhere in the Netherlands. I've searched for quite a while with no relusts. The thing is that it's the only GG album I really like (I know that from listening to the songs on Youtube), which makes it even more frustrating.

According to the press release (as reproduced on the official site): "More Gentle Giant music will be available in a variety of formats in 2010, starting with the January release of the seven CDs Re-Mastered from the original 1" inch tapes through Hi-Resolution (24bit 96k) transfer. First quarter of 2010 will also find box sets and Limited Edition Vinyl LPs." So I'd hold on to your hard-earned cash for the time being.  |

The box sets makes the whole thing very expensive... especially if they mean to publish vynil box sets as Genesis done recently...
Pardon me for my egnorance, but what is the exact difference between these remasters and recently remastered album such as Glass house and TPTG?

^ Whats all that about? In a Glas House available - we know this and we know its excellent
Anyway the remastered "Free Hand" Is worth grabbing apart from anything else. i dont think a remastered'Octopus' would change the fact that it is disappointing GG -------------

| These new remasters are AWESOME. I was gifted with a few of the 35th anniversary remasters a few years back. I always though the In a Glass House remaster was terrible. Lots of humming and buzzing (especially at the beginning of Experience). These new remasters are crystal clear. I'm probably going to slowly replace the 35th anniv. cd's with these. |

I have no idea what the source tape was, but I agree about how absolutely dreadful it is. That painful listen kept me away from Gentle Giant for quite a while. Then I found The Power and the Glory and Playing the Fool on vinyl  |

THe Power and the Glory is a real gem
 . I havn't yet got Playing The Fool but I'm sure I will.I have just ordered the 2010 remaster of In A Glass House. Determined to get into this album if it kills me

| It would be nice if they are reissued with the original cover art. I never liked the octopus in the jar as compared to the Roger Dean cover for Octopus. |

Weirdly, I always preferred the US cover. Anyway, the remasters in question are only spanning from IAGH to GFAD (I think) due to legal rights and whatnot. However, I'm pretty sure the most recent Octopus remaster has the Dean artwork... |

| The 2010 remaster of In A Glass House is so much better ,crisper and more dynamic sounding although there is still some audible hiss at times but not such that its spoils the listening. Now I can listen to this properly. |

[/QUOTE] My vinyl copy was the octopus in the jar and the cover was cut to the outline of the jar. Not sure if it survived the flood. Still have to inventory the surviving LPs.------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
