October 1971 saw the release of 3 albums with a 23 something minutes epic: "Meddle" by Pink Floyd, "Focus II" by Focus and "Pawn Hearts" by Van der Graaf Generator.

this is actually a double question, which is why I allow multiple votes. please answer twice, once for the first part and once for the second

It's a slam dunk for Pawn Hearts!

Meddle is too much of a favorite of mine, so it gets both votes.

I'm going with Pawn Hearts as the best overall album and Meddle as the best epic...
