Amazon needs to package items properly
Nothing wrong what is contained on this cd, sounds good as expected. My stars are for the content! But, Amazon needs to learn how to package a cd properly, both were damaged. I would never order vinyl from Amazon, I can only imagine how many pieces it would be in!

Un disco imprescindible
Se juntaron cuatro gigantes del rock Progresivo/ jazz rock y lograron un disco de antología, imprescindible dentro del rock progresivo. Cada tema es una obra de arte tanto en su composición como en su ejecución. Buen sonido y bonus tracks que hacen de esta edición una pieza interesante.

Last gasp of 70s-era prog.
If Prog Rockers were dinosaurs, then UK came along in the late Cretaceous Period. This super group drew its members from former members of King Crimson, Soft Machine, Yes and Roxy Music. The opening trilogy, "In the Dead of Night," is the closest thing to a rocker on the album. The rest of the selections show the influences drawn from the members former bands. I can most distinctly detect notes of King Crimson and Frank Zappa-esque music throughout the album. Guitarist Alan Holdsworth's contributions are unique -- and that's an over- and mis-used word.Much has been said about other CD versions of this disk. I had the vinyl many years ago before going digital, so I cannot make a comparison with the vinyl, and I shied away from CD purchases until a copy of the Japanese pressing became available. However, in my opinion, it sounds very good. Drums, bass, guitar, vocals, keyboards and violin seem very well-balanced. It's not the greatest prog-rock album I own, but it's one I remembered enjoying, so I was glad to finally obtain a copy with good audio quality. Hard to believe it came out 40 years ago.

Between KC and Asia There Was This
This is one of my favorite prog albums. UK, for John Wetton, was a transition phase between his King Crimson days and Asia. It was great while it lasted.Unfortunately this album is still relatively unknown by the general music listening public. Many know of Asia but few, in comparison, know of UK.

The greatest super prog group ever.
The quality of performance and composition is amazing. Although other UK releases followed, this album was a once off, there was nothing else to top it.A 'must' album for any serious prog rock fan.

Good Debut Album
Sound quality is as good as the vinyl version, In my opinion. If you like Progressive rock? You should have this in your collection. I do like their second album "Danger Money" a little better but you should add this one to your classic rock library collection.

Gruppo Prog Rock secondario ma non di minore importanza visto i nomi dei componenti, a mio parere va acquistato ottime sonorità.
