Their final and biggest album, balancing the soaring title hymn with lighter, worldlier songs. Immaculately produced and hugely popular. A perfect send-off. Not the first record to reach for, but well worth reaching for.
On vinyl: A heavily reissued catalogue — read the remaster reviews before committing to a pressing.
