In Spite of Harry's Toenail is the debut studio album of the British progressive rock band, Gnidrolog. The album was recorded in the London De Lane Lea Studios in 1972 and released that same year. A re-issue was released in 1999, including previously unreleased material, recorded by the band in 1969. The band, while resembling other progressive bands of the time, such The Van der Graaf Generator, have also created their unique sound in this album, primarily due to the absence of a keyboard.
