(5 out of 5 stars)
"After "World Record", gone were Hugh Banton and Dave Jackson, in were Graham Smith (violin) and Nic Potter (bass).Hence the aptly named "Van Der Graaf." The result was a more stripped down approach.Dare I say it, but this may be their most accessable album.If you consider how prolific Peter Hammill was at this time (1975/1976),and how he maintained the high quality of songwriting/performance, it makes this release that much more incredible!!
This remastered reissue is a delight.It's augmented with three bonus tracks.EMI/VIRGIN is to be commended on the whole Peter Hammill/VDGG reissue series to date..Being in the U.S.A. this title hasn't been released here yet(import only),but it is worth every cent..
Highly recommended!!!"
