The Grand Illusion was one of the albums I grew up listening to and really became part of my childhood. No question songs like "Fooling Yourself" , "Superstars" and "Man In The Wilderness" were huge songs in my life. "Come sail away" was a roller skating staple on every sunday living up North in Canada!
I have never heard this album sound as good as it does on this half speed mastered LP! Fans of this album will need to hunt down a copy of this version as it is just that good ! You wont believe "castle walls" when you hear this version with total clarity like I have never heard before. For example I never heard the hand percussion on this song before yet now it stands out . Also some of the vocal harmonies sound totally distinct and clear....it really puts a whole new perspective on this treasured album!
The Grand Illusion was in my opinion the height of their career with a perfect blend of progressive, rock and pop with some of the best songs from their career.
