Holy grail Italian prog rock album release on United Artists. Plenty of hype surrounding this album but very much justified. It is truly amazing, a mindblowing conceptual progressive gem that moves from mellow and melodic to hard, heavy rock with thrilling solo work on guitar, flute and organ. UA original flipback cover and printed inner sleeve, copy is solid EX except for scuff marks at start of side 2 causing some faint distortion, rest is flawless.
