Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

"Octopus" and "In a Glass House" are both superb albums, I don't think that I could choose between them...

From a quality standpoint, the original Vertigo pressings of Octopus are far superior to the Worldwide Artists pressings of In a Glass House.

I also like "Three Friends" and "Acquiring the Taste" quite a bit.
The LP's after "Freehand" all seem forced and devoid of the Gentle Giant innovative music and precision timing IMHO, but the rest are keepers.

You can still find original first generation UK Vertigo's out there. Those are the ones to have. The second generation Roger Dean "spaceship" Vertigo's are not quite as good but still head and shoulders better than the horrible US Colombia abominations.

Cheers,
