Some further reflections...as discussed on another thread, in the US this and Foxtrot were distributed by Buddah Records, which doesn't seem a natural home for progressive rock bands. I do think this was one of the things which meant they didn't make impact in the US at the same time as, say, Yes did. Yes had the muscle of Atlantic Records behind them- when Genesis also had that, it paid off. (Unfortunate that VDGG never got the same chance, really.)
Also, this one sold very well in Italy. One of their books has an Italian album Top 10 from when this was on it, and it has people like ELP and PFM on it too. What a chart!
