...its good innit.

Just blown the dust off my overplayed vinyl after setting up 'der 'I bleedin fi' system and fannying around getting the levels right so the pre-amp could amplify the minuscule voltage from the cartridge.

you get the idea.

anyway, back to Jeff.

The first album I paid my own money for when it came out. Still got it. Still love it.

My dad has the full illustrated album on vinyl, story (picture) book cover too!

Used to play it most nights when me and my sister were little, scared the pants off me, and put my sister to sleep lol!

Saw him conduct it live at the Birmingham NIA last year.
Absolutely brilliant

Yep great LP which I bought as soon as it came out.

It was the same in 1978! That and northern lights by Renaissance.
