Gentle Giant – In A Glass House (Vinyl LP, 1973, WWA Records WWA 002, UK Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
In A Glass House was Gentle Giant’s fifth studio album and their first following the departure of founding member Phil Shulman. The record develops the band’s progressive-rock approach through intricate ensemble arrangements, multi-instrumental performances, and pieces including “The Runaway,” “Experience,” and the title track. Recorded at Advision Studios in London in July 1973, it was produced by Gentle Giant for Alucard Productions.
