I don't remember the exact story, but Darryl Hall (of Hall & Oates) was the primary vocalist on this album but his label didn't like it, so Peter Hammill ended up doing vocals on most of the songs. You get both versions on the CD reissue.

So it turns out when we were in high school passing around a bottle of gin in our friend’s basement while spinning this Led Zeppelin on repeat that we were burgeoning prog fans. Alright!

I started working part-time when I was 14, so that would be how I bought the records; I know I started before my folks got that little console stereo. I never stole any. My friends shoplifted quite a few singles though.
