It's great, everyone knows it's great. Great album, great production, great pressing. I don't know if it is the greatest. I was willed a whole collection and this was included, but without a sleeve. I keep it inside of "a farewell to kings", because "cygnus x-1" ends on a cliffhanger and is continued on 'spheres, which of course leads very often to listening to both albums. I don't know if this is the greatest but if Kings/'spheres could be considered as one it just might be the greatest ever. All hail "kingospheres" !
