Record Collector valuation: £12

This album contained the track that caught my attention, namely "Necromancer", previously unreleased in the UK as it turned out. Tim Locke brought the album along to a party that I had at my parents house in 1972. The party landed me in a heap of trouble but that's another story.

I think it was Peter Hammill's voice that I originally liked, but of course it didn't take long to realise what a brilliant lyricist he was.

There follows some extracts from the album cover which give an overview of the early days of Van der Graaf Generator and a brief discography via the album cover links.
