Story
In The Region Of The Summer Stars was originally composed as a largely vocal album, but recording plans had to be drastically and hurriedly reviewed when Peter Roberts, the band's singer and irreplaceable frontman killed himself on New Year's Day, 1975. The band, under the leadership of Robert John Godfrey, reconstructed the music for a purely instrumental line-up. The original name decided for the album was "The Voyage of the Acolyte", However Steve Hackett released an album with the same name and a similar concept.
