I'd also have kept it ('cause I only own the CD) !
Edit: Note the now correct credits for Gallows Pole, which didn't appear with the original Version on LZ III.
And yes, Thank You is a great song! It proved R.P. to be a serious writer when it appeared on LZ II in '69.
Best regards!
Too much synthesizers, drum computers and keyboard horn fills. Definitively a typical wayward child of the eighties. Every track has the same rhythm pattern. Trouble man - trouble music. Masterpiece (as judged in 1982) or hype? Mastered at Allen Zentz, LA: "Vanz kant danz" (cit.: John Fogerty)

Hype or masterpiece? Neil Landon, vocals.

Should we play this one loud or not?

A rainbow of sounds or a poppy nogood? Curved masterpiece?
I prefer "Baba O'Riley" and "Curved Air".

What planet is this? Appropriate question. Sounds like 25 hyperactive small children experimenting with all those strange instruments in the recording studio. Not for everyone's ears. Free Jazz from 1973. EU 2009 reissue.

They had international format. The most experienced German Progrock group.
John Lawton, Peter Hesslein, Joachim Rietenbach, Dieter Horns, Peter Hecht.
Produced by the Rattles' Herbert Hildebrandt-Winhauer

No Hype IMHO.

This is Lucifer's Friend without John Lawton. Some kind of German "Nice/ELP"
The Pink Mice are gnawing at Bach, Beethoven, Haydn and Grieg
The Problem was the missing of a vocalist in the manner of a Greg Lake.
Hype or masterpiece?

Most underrated solo album by a member of YES in the 70ies. Look at the fantastic inner sleeve cover art by Henry S. Hodgson!
Listen to the driving A1 "Ooh Baby". Vocals by Alan Marshall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCb8-UNVfBE

Had to look that up. A studio in the Bahamas, cool. "Bahama, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you..." LoL.. Too bad Wikipedia or others never mention the gear they used in those studios. These days, I'm more interested in that than anything else.
Kate & Cindy were hot, but the nod goes to Kate as she had the curves.
"Strobe Light" Another cool tune. As a late teen who somehow had one since an early teen, I never knew they could serve "that" purpose. It was about that time I began to realize the earlier bands were much more poetic and clever with risqué topics compared to what was going on at the time, more so today. There's nothing left for your imagination, it's all in your face and boring. Two songs that stand out to me from the 60's were, "Help me, Rhonda" and "Different Drum." The Beach Boys tune being about a one-night stand and the Stone Ponys tune about polyamory/promiscuity.
