Out of Simon Dupree & The Big Sound came Gentle Giant and these, their first two albums for the Vertigo label, were released in 1970 and 1971. The band's Progressive style was a complete change from Simon Dupree's Pop/RnB sound, but a new wave of fans in the UK, US and particularly in Europe ensured that for years the group had a healthy live and recording career. Digitally remastered and slipcased. Extensive new notes.
