| Gabriel, Peter - Con-tact!
|
(Fabulous Charming [unofficial] EU-83 VG+ 500:-)
From his early days as Genesis' original front man, through his time as MTV-savvy hit-maker, and onto his current incarnation as a multi-media wizard, Peter Gabriel has fashioned a career that has seen him achieve great success while also maintaining a level of innovation not usually associated with commercial musicians.
This 3LP set was recorded on the 1983 tour of Europe;
- at Falkonerteatret, Kobenhavn, Denmark, October 1 (complete performance)
- at Ekeberghallen, Oslo, Norway, September 29 (additional songs)

| Gainsbourg, Serge – Mauvaises Nouvelles
|
(Philips 6313.270 Fra-81 VG+ 300:-)
Later work by Serge, but still pretty darn groovy! This is Serge's follow-up to his groundbreaking album "Aux Armes Et Cetera" - a session recorded in Jamaica with Sly & Robbie, and done in a heavy-stepping reggae style.
This set has him working with the pair again, and the slow slinking dubby groove is a surprisingly great match for Serge's sexy mutterings. This one's great - and it's an unexpected blending of worlds that turned out to be one of Serge's best post-75 albums!

| Gentle Giant - Aquiring the Taste
|
(Vertigo 6360.041 UK-74 VG+ 500:-)
A perfectly balanced little set from Gentle Giant – progressive, but never overly jamming – jazzy, but still rock-based enough to contain some great straight ahead tunes – and whimsical, but never too flowery or hippy dippy!
Gentle Giant were one of the few who could strike this balance so well, and an album like this is a perfect example of the great niche they carved out for themselves at the time. The keyboards here are especially great – and feature lots of moog and mellotron that skanes through the tunes with an almost flute-like feel.
2nd UK pressing on the Vertigo "space label".

| Gentle Giant - Three Friends
|
(Vertigo 6360.070 UK-72 VG+ 1250:-)
Gentle Giant's third album was a concept album about three friends who grew up together in school, parted ways, and meet up with each other in the future when each has choose a career for themselves.
UK 2nd pressing; "Made in England" on the B-side and correct listing of B1 as "Peel the Paint".

| Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead
|
(Mobile Fidelity MFSL-2-367 US-12 EX 1250:-)
An essential early document of the Grateful Dead – a double-length collection of live material that was one of the first to give the rest of the world a chance to hear what they could provide to their ever-growing concert audiences!
The tracks were mostly recorded in New York in early 1971, and have the group really spinning out their special sort of magic in ways that are a nice change from their studio records – looser, more jamming, and maybe more acoustic too – that shift from psych to roots that was already going on, but delivered here with the sort of warmth that would hold their fans in sway for years to come.

| Gravy Train - Staircase to the Day
|
(Dawn DNLH-1 UK-74 VG+ 2250:-)
Formed in Lancashire in 1969, Gravy Train was fronted by guitarist and vocalist Norman Barratt, along with J.D. Hughes on keyboards, flute and saxophones, Les Williams on bass and Barry Davenport on drums.
"Staircase to the Day" is considered a classic in prog rock circles. It blends the English style classic rock sound with progressive movements creating an excellent but very different style.

| Greatest Show on Earth - Horizons
|
(Harvest SHVL-769 UK-70 VG+ 500:-)
Greatest Show On Earth was the brainchild of talented musical brothers Norman and Garth Watt-Roy.
Backed by a hot brass section, this eight-piece outfit certainly packs a punch. With an eye-catching sleeve designed by Hipgnosis, ‘Horizons’ has become a collectors’ item throughout the world.

| Greatest Show on Earth - The Going's Easy
|
(Harvest SHVL-783 UK-70 VG+ 500:-)
The second TGSoE album, released fairly shortly after their debut, is a bit different than the brass-heavy debut. It is definitely more appealing to hard prog rockers, especially after the intriguing 9-minute opener 'Borderline', which places them in the UK proto-prog realm.

| Guru Guru - Dance of the Flames
|
(Atlantic K50044 UK-74 VG+ 375:-)
Guru Guru were one the pioneers of the Krautrock genre playing a trippy, hypnotic brand of music with outbreaks of heaviness.
The only Guru Guru album with ex-Eiliff guitarist Houschang Nejadepour on board is quite different from their previous heavy-acid works. In fact, you can hear excellent jazz/world fusion with doze of psychedelic prog there. Plenty of Indian, Arabic and Spanish music elements are included.
