Gentle Giant: Giant For A Day
Phil Sutcliffe, Sounds, 30 September 1978
THIS GENTLE Giant album could present you with some difficulty and even expense. The problem is that you'll have to set your record player up in the bathroom so that you can sing along at the top of your lungs with those nice echoes from the white tiles and reverbs round the U-bend, I think Giant For A Day is an album full of hit singles though I suppose they're never likely to make it even as far as the pressing plant.
