This single-disc collection gathers the complete contents of both Red Queen to Gryphon Three (1974) and Raindance (1975), respectively the third and fourth titles from Gryphon. Initially the band made a significant niche for themselves with a myriad of intricate and equally beautiful acoustic folk melodies. However, by the time of these two long-players, the original quartet had now expanded to include Philip Nestor (bass guitar), Ernest Hart (organ), and Peter Redding (acoustic bass), and their sound had evolved, now tastefully incorporating elements of prog rock/art rock. As the album's title suggests, the concept behind Red Queen to Gryphon Three is the dramatic strategy involved in a chess match. The move-by-move struggle for supremacy is instrumentally animated during the four movements: "Opening Move," "Second Spasm," "Lament," and "Checkmate." Many enthusiasts have expressed the opinion that this LP best represents Gryphon's abilities to effortlessly vacillate between the electric bombast of mid-'70s prog rock and the delicate woodwind recorders, distinct crumhorn, and hand percussion.
