In a Glass House
''In a Glass House'' is an album by British progressive rock band Gentle Giant, released in 1973. The album is allegedly a concept project based on the aphorism "Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".〔(''In A Glass House'' (1973) - Gentle Giant web site )〕 The record begins and ends with the sound of breaking glass.
==Release==
One of Gentle Giant's most popular albums (although the band themselves were not happy with it at the time, being made under pressure of Phil Shulman's departure),〔Nick Logan & Bob Woffinden, ''The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock (New Musical Express)'', 2nd ed., Salamander Books-Harmony Books NY-London, 1977, p.92〕 it was available in North America only as a rare〔''The Rolling Stone Record Guide'' (first edition, 1979, p. 147) does not list the LP among nine Gentle Giant albums up to ''Giant for a Day''. Also absent from the list are the first self-titled LP, and the compilation albums ''Giant Steps'' and ''Pretentious''.〕 import – both LP and CD – until 2004 when a digitally remastered CD was released. This was because their US label Columbia Records rejected the album as uncommercial. As a result, Columbia dropped the band from the label which contractually allowed the band to take ownership of the original master recording and all rights to it. This cleared the way for the first "official" release of the title in the United States on compact disc on the band's own Alucard label. It is the first Gentle Giant album after the departure of Phil Shulman.
The 2004 release had two live recordings from the tour as bonus tracks. The album was reissued in 2005 and distributed by Derek Shulman's DRT label with 1 bonus live track as part of the 35th Anniversary reissue series of the band's back catalogue. In 2009, ''In a Glass House'' became available for the first time as a digital download with bonus live recordings (these recordings differed from the original 2004 and 2005 release of the album) remastered by Fred Kervorkian under the supervision of Ray Shulman. ''In a Glass House'' received a physical release on CD as part of a 40th Anniversary series of reissues this time without any bonus tracks with plans to release vinyl versions of all the band's albums from ''In a Glass House'' through ''Giant for a Day'' in late 2010.〔("Progressiveland" interview with Derek Shulman ) by Wayne Klein, 17 February 2010〕
The final track of the album is hidden. Following the song "In a Glass House", there is a delay then a brief recapitulation of every other track on the album. The song is namet "Index" in LP releases but not marked in the cover of the CD releases. The album cover had a black and white lithograph of the group covered with clear plastic ("glass") on a die-cut.
