Available for the first time in more than 15 years the first Giraffe CD The Power of Suggestion. This seminal work propelled Kevin into the spotlight and on to win the Yamaha Song Vision contest.
This CD contains early versions of some of the material on TSOTT and Thud. This version is the entire CD as it was originally released. The CD has been meticulously re-mastered from the original analog tapes. That and advances in CD technology have made this version much better sounding than the original. It is a must have for all KG fans.
One interesting note: The Power of Suggestion was the first independent CD ever released.

Even though I own the now out-of-print Giraffe compilation, which included most of both records, I still have always wanted copies of these. And to be technical, here's what these 2 discs include, that the compilation did not.
The Last Thing On Your Mind
Everything We Are
Can't Make This Love Go Away
Because Of You – 11th Hr. Mix
Waiting for the Rain

So, 6 tracks I don't own yet. I'm sure I have mp3's though, but it'll be nice to have better mastered versions. Maybe Thud and more unreleased compilations will come soon as well?
-oh and by the way, I'm pretty sure the Estate meant to have that say "Available for the first time in more than 20 Years" (not 30, since 30 years ago was 1982, and Giraffe hadn't even formed at that point :p).
