Gracious! 1970 US 1st Press VG/VG

GRACIOUS! - GRACIOUS!

Experience the dawn of British progressive rock at its most daring with the self-titled 1970 debut masterpiece from Gracious! This rare symphonic-rock treasure effortlessly bridges the gap between late-60s psychedelic pop and the complex, keyboard-driven epics of early King Crimson and Gentle Giant. Seamlessly weaving heavy guitar riffs, baroque harpsichord accents, and sweeping Mellotron soundscapes, Gracious! takes listeners on an unforgettable sonic journey across five ambitious tracks—including the jaw-dropping, 16-minute multi-part suite "The Dream." An essential, highly sought-after artifact from a golden era of musical boundary-pushing, this album is a crown jewel for any serious progressive rock collector.

1970 US first pressing release by Capitol Records,  catalog # ST-602.

Sleeve grades VG.  Some would call VG+...there's nothing wrong with it, just a little touch of everything - edgwear, corner softening, ringwear - not quite nice enough for VG+ IMO.  Original company inner sleeve is present.

Vinyl grades VG.  Plays great.  Side A is mostly VG+, maybe a few faint crackles/pops; Side B is more borderline and has some light static/crackle behind the music.  Light surface marks and scratches consistent with the disc's age.  Disc has been ultrasonically cleaned.
