Last weeks album of the week was, Gentle Giant – The Power and the Glory.
The 6th album by the British progressive rock group Gentle Giant, released in 1974. Contrary to popular belief, the title of the album and its many lyrical themes were not inspired by author Graham Greene’s novel of the same name, although Derek Shulman was aware of Greene’s novel.
Guitarist Gary Green has cited this album as his favourite by the band.
