Tales is the only APP album that approaches prog in the strict sense of the term. A concept album does not make for a prog record (although there are solid prog overtones and it is a very symphonis affair) because then The Who and Pretty Things should then be included. This UFO appeared early in my record-buying carreer and it still remains a soft spot in my ears, although I find APP a bit out of the scope of the ProgArchives.
