Paul:

"So the album was found in the import bins (their stateside label at the time, Columbia Records, rejected IAGH on grounds that they felt it was not commercially viable, which was why I never heard of it until PtF came out years later) and it became one of my absolute favorites. In fact, mainly on the strength of worldwide sales but also US import sales plus domestic sales once it was finally pressed stateside in 1978, IAGH remains the top selling Giant album"

You are saying there was a US press of Glass House lp as early as '78??
This is news to me.
I always thought it never made North American press.Only WWA label uk and Vertigo Germany.

If so, do you have a picture? Is it the same elaborate gimmix cover, 3D cellophane?
