I always see these 2 albums in every charity shop, junk shop and car boot. They were pretty much fundraisers for the Hare Krishna groups, who flogged them out of knapsacks and satchels, who then used the proceeds to build schools and buy supplies overseas. The Jesus Revolution subculture was big in the 1970s.
Amongst the proggy fans, they now suggest these 2 albums to people if they want to get into prog, if they want to start a collection by spending 50p to £1 to start a collection. All our record collections started from somewhere. (Yes, I have own both of them, I bought them about 15 years ago)
I do see a lot of videos of people talking about them in a positive light.
I remember seeing a sign in a record shop telling people not to bring them, they will be binned.
