I bought this single lp album back in 1982. I was teenager and I had limited funds, so buying 2 single albums that day overrode the cost of the double album. The packaging was confusing, comparing them side by side. I guess I was the market profile for this edition.

One of my favourite albums, although Skylarking comes out ahead. Thanks for the great review!
Glad you enjoyed it! I have a soft spot for Skylarking too. Particularly Grass.
I could think of 5 songs I can take or leave, one of them would be Melt The Guns - too long and a bit preachy. But it is a classic album for sure

They saw you coming!
Eh, just break down and get the Ape House reissues. Then, get all the surround reissues put out with Steven Wilson. :-)
