Great choice - I remember the first time I heard this, coming out of my mate's brother's new Spendor BC1s. It sounded just right. Still got the album, but it's a bit crackly these days, I ought to get a new copy.Originally Posted by AJSki2fly

Having watched Elton at Glasto yesterday I was inspired to listen to Captain Fantastic. It is a great album!

Henry Cow - Legend, and the one with the sock on the cover, oh, they've both got socks on the cover. And the live one called 'Concerts'.

Never too late for King Crimson, its Larks' Tongue In Aspic, a good one, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Larks-Tongues-Aspic-VINYL-Crimson/dp/B00ECK202U/ref=sr_1_4?crid=ZZIU077FBAYA&keywords=larks+tongue s+in+aspic+vinyl&qid=1687860419&sprefix=larks+ton% 2Caps%2C98&sr=8-4
and cheap as chips.
KC have recently re-release nearly all their albums on vinyl, some re-mixed by Steven Wilson & Robert Fripp in 200gm limited editions see https://burningshed.com/index.php?ro...h=59_92&page=2
I have most of their albums, been a fan since 70's, I like all of them but personally I really like Thrak which is from 1995, it is a more aggressive sound, quite edgy in parts, but very good IMO. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrak-200gm...ps%2C84&sr=8-3
