Customer Reviews:

wonderful to have this on CD.......2005-02-21

I bought this on LP back in 1977. It is awesome. I have searched for years to find it. I am thrilled that is is now available on CD.

I'd give this 10 stars if I could........2005-02-07

I also bought the LP in 1977 - and it has remained one of my favorites ever since. Just unique. Catchy, harmonious, rock opera full of some of rock's best voices including David Cousins and Annie Haslam. Should have been much better known than it was, but I'm thrilled it's available on CD now.

What can I say?.......2004-10-14

I have been trying to find this awesome disc for years and am stunned that I can finally get to enjoy this superb album once again. What else can I say but WOW!

The Return Of The "Silver Lady".......2003-06-16

"Time to wake up, time to rise..." are the words which open this album, and they are appropriate to this release of a concept-rock legend on CD. From the beautiful instrumental "Approach" to "Keeper Keep Us" featuring Meatloaf at his soulful best, this album is a joy to listen to. The concept is simple: This is a "recording" of the "Welcome Home" concert of the InterGalactic Touring Band. The Band has been roaming the Galaxy for 10 years promoting understanding and peace through music, and now they have returned to Earth and are playing the first concert in the newly-completed Orbital Entertainment Dome - a space-going concert hall. One or two of the songs give away a disco-era influence (most notably Love Station), but things like the flat, merciless-sounding refrain of "We are the law!" in Space Commando or the intricate instumental weaving in Silver Lady can give you a shiver. So please return your seat-backs to their full, relaxed position, and remember the use of electronic devices with headphones is encouraged on this flight...Get The Inter Galactic Touring Band, and prepare for launch.

At last, an IGTB CD!.......2003-02-08

Ever since I got the vinyl LP back in 1977 I have adored this unique album. Nowhere else in the music world have the "spirits" of progressive music and classical science fiction been so delightfully combined, Nowhere! This record stands alone! Great artists, great music, great stories, great fun!
For years I've waited and hoped for a reissue in CD format, and now it is here at last! Wonderful!
