First edition of Cryptic Vision's debut with Prog Rock Records' barcode sticker affixed to the tray insert (they did that to all of them).
Cryptic Vision was a trio at this time, but don't expect a Rush-like sound — more like Kansas, Yes, Styx, Saga and Spock's Beard. Engaging, accessible melodic prog rock!
