The double CD is an expanded version consisting of the original album, contemporary demos and live material, including the first ever released version of Andy singing East of Eden.
It has some absolutely fantastic new artwork, which has been completely reworked / re-interpreted by Paul Tippett at Vitamin P (with help from our own in-built creative, Senor Sears).
All the lyrics have been lavishly illustrated with some stunning images, and there are brand new sleeve-notes from Andy Sears, Mark Hughes and Andy Wild. Here are just a couple of the pages from the booklet, a couple of live photos, and a publicity shot for the original release in 1984.

lyrics
Synthesised, programmed and synchronised
Detailed, computerised – no room for error
Specified, labelled and classified
Free mind has paralysed imagination
Educate, break down and formulate
Dictate don’t speculate – don’t be a failure
Parasite – know, sense, think, read and write
Translating black and white, hungry for logic
Stand fast
Take a look at yourself
In a moment, realise
We are thinking today
Take control
Clinical, useful and practical
Always fanatical – controlled existence
Generate, design and integrate
But never simulate human reaction
Stand fast
Take a look at yourself
In a moment, realise
We are thinking today
Take control
Take control
Control
Control
Doters on the silicon
Enslaved by self-design
Dependant on the life-blood
And body of their Son
Each cry for understanding
Begins and ends at the grave
From cradle to grave
Null and void emotion
Break free of the system
Opening eyes finding release
Each breath of inspiration
Begins and ends at the grave
From cradle to grave
Synthesised, programmed and synchronised
Detailed, computerised no room for error
Specified, labelled and classified
Free mind has paralysed imagination
Stand fast
Take a look at yourself
In a moment, realise
We are thinking today
Take a look, take a look
Take control of yourself
For a moment, realise
We are thinking today, today, today
Take a look at yourself
For a moment, realise
We are thinking today
Take a look, take a look
Take control of yourself
In a moment, in a moment
Realise, we are thinking today, today, today, today
Take a look at yourself, for a moment
Realise, we are thinking today
Take control
We are thinking, thinking
Today, today, today
Take a look
Take a look
Take a look
Take a look, at yourself
At yourself
You’ve got to take, take, take
Take control of yourself.
I am not new to Galahad but have lost touch with them after Beyond The Realms of Euphoria album,which still is my favorite release. But this release is just as good if not better. Galahad is one of the top prog acts around. A pleasure to add this to my musical collection. lloydd
I remember the excitement when The Sentinel was released having seen the band live a few times before. I loved the album but was aware that there were tracks missing and it had been rumoured that it was to be a double album. To hear all these takes and works in progress takes me right back to the 80's and the buzz of all the new prog that was coming out back then. This is an absolutely essential purchase for any Pallas fan. nuttinikki
