Deluxe 50th Anniversary deluxe two CD/LP/7" edition of the classic 1969 debut album by Van Der Graaf Generator. Features a CD of rare and previously unreleased tracks including two previously unreleased demos from 1967, the BBC Top Gear session from 1968 and singles, a facsimile 180gm vinyl LP pressing housed in the withdrawn UK gatefold sleeve design, a 7-inch single of the very rare withdrawn release "People You Were Going To" b/w 'firebrand", a book with many previously unseen photos and cuttings and an essay by sid smith featuring an exclusive interview with Peter Hammill.
