Yes it was.It was re-issued last year to 'celebrate' the 30th anniversary of it's release.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

Buy it now!

There's some beautiful and fantastic guitar playing on there.

Sometimes the guitar sounds like a cross between Steve Hackett,Anthony Phillips,Johnny Echols (Love) and Andy Latimer.

The female vocals can be a bit 'earnest' in places.A cross between Julie Covington,Annie Haslam and Judy Dyble (Fairports and King Crimson)

His vocals remind me of Ian Matthews of Fairports and Matthews Southern Comfort and Colin Blunstone of The Zombies.

I am playing it now.It's gorgeous.

Pink Floyd - The Wall
Tool - Lateralus
Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade Of Gray

-music is like pornography...

sometimes amateurs turn us on, even more...



-sometimes you are the pigeon and sometimes you are the statue...

Uh, lemme think...
 
Thick as a Brick, 'cause it's the best album ever, Heavy Horses, 'cause it's the best Tull album ever, and Aqualung. As a placekeeper.
 
If you want me to be SERIOUS, then, I'd wager...
 
Thick as a Brick. See above. Quadropheania. See above also. Finally, Ween's The Mollusk. Damn that's a sweet album. However, place three is unstable, and could also be occupied by Procol Harum, Strange Days, or Heavy Horses. Depending on my mood.

Marillion's Brave
U2's The Joshua Tree

The third could be Springsteen's Born To Run, The Police's Synchronicity, Marillion's Marbles, Eagle's One Of These Nights, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, or a few others.
