Originally released in January 1977, Playing The Fool captured Gentle Giant at the peak of their live performance prowess. Now, over 45 years later, the beloved live album has been re-imagined, mixed and mastered, bringing a fresh level of clarity and depth to the Gentle Giant live experience.
Produced by Dan Bornemark, who has worked extensively with the band on archival projects, The Complete Live Experience captures the full scope of the band's artistry as they were meant to be heard, including restored in-between-song commentary, band introductions and authentic venue ambience. It features the complete full original setlist, plus three unreleased tracks Interview, Timing and Ray Shulman's solo violin feature. Available as a triple LP, double CD and triple CD/Blu-ray in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround sound and 96/24 Stereo, this release gives fans the ultimate Gentle Giant experience as never before, with stunning clarity and spatial audio that places the listener right in the middle of the show. It's the definitive version of a legendary live performance from one of progressive rock's most unique and influential bands.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
