One
of Gentle Giant's most popular albums (although the band themselves
were not happy with it at the time, having to work under the pressure of
Phil Shulman's departure), it was only available in the United States
and Canada as a high priced import until 1992 when a reissued CD was
released. This was because their US label Columbia Records rejected the
album as uncommercial. As a result, Columbia dropped the band from the
label which contractually allowed the band to take ownership of the
original master recording and all rights to it. This cleared the way for
the first "official" release of the title in the United States on
compact disc on the band's own Alucard label.
The 2004 release had
two live recordings from the tour as bonus tracks. The album was
reissued in 2005 and distributed by Derek Shulman's DRT label with 1
bonus live track as part of the 35th Anniversary reissue series of the
band's back catalogue. In 2009, In a Glass House became available for
the first time as a digital download with bonus live recordings (these
recordings differed from the original 2004 and 2005 release of the
album) remastered by Fred Kervorkian under the supervision of Ray
Shulman. In a Glass House received a physical release on CD as part of a
40th Anniversary series of reissues this time without any bonus tracks
with plans to release vinyl versions of all the band's albums from In a
Glass House through Giant for a Day in late 2010.
The final track of
the album is hidden. Following the song "In a Glass House", there is a
delay then a brief recapitulation of every other track on the album. The
song is named "Index" in LP releases but not marked in the cover of the
CD releases. The album cover had a black and white lithograph of the
group covered with clear plastic ("glass") on a die-cut.
