All the tapes from the 'forbidden west' were bootlegged in Moscow where I grew up, but the pop music fans were still able to get some of that 'forbidden west music' which was secretly shared and exchanged on black market. I had a bootleg copy of "Pictures at an Exhibition" and I remember thinking that the group had a unique sound which seemed strange, but appealing to me.
And I share that summation. That and I had not discovered the blues.
Thanks for the memories of this Album.
Like you, not a HUGE fan of prog rock, but I like what I like, and "Welcome Back my Friends" was a great song growing up
