About the Album
A multi-artist vinyl compilation (Vertigo 6641 116) including one Gentle Giant track, The Boys In The Band.
The gatefold album had a laminated white cover with a cartoon red and white striped stick of Seaside Rock (familiar to UK readers), with the words "Suck It And See" written in red all through the stick. By the release of this sampler, Vertigo had moved to the Roger Dean "Spaceships" label rather than the classic "Swirl" label, although the swirl was incorporated into the new design.
The album is also notable for the only official release of the Jade Warrior track "Mwenga Sketch," which was slated for a new Vertigo Jade Warrior album that never saw the light of day.
