Formed from the remnants of Simon Dupree and the Big Sound and centred on the talents of the three Shulman brothers, Gentle Giant is the archtypal prog-rock band. With shifting time signatures, polyphonic vocal harmonies, use of mediaeval and classical textures and rock guitar they achieved some success in the Seventies. This companion 2-CD release to "Out Of The Fire" (Hux 008) features BBC sessions originally recorded for Radio 1's "Sounds Of The Seventies". Featuring almost 20 minutes of previously unreleased recordings including a rare live demo of "Free Hand".

The 8-page booklet includes liner notes by Gentle Giant's Gary Green and  rare photographs.

"The sessions were something of a challenge for us...but usually the results were pretty good, performance-wise...although we would joke about the antiquity of some of the equipment."
