Aah, nice story American Khatru. I remember how I first got into Genesis too. I had lent Nursery Cryme from the library, not expecting much, because my only experience with the band was from the newer 80's albums., played on the radio.
The vinyl was in a really bad shape, with years of wear and tear and bad handling. And I was in a kinda bad shape myself, having a cold and fever. But listening to the album, I was blown away more and more each consecutive minute, just as you say, Khatru. The cold and fever also had a very unexpected positive effect on this, I went into a kind of trancelike state because of this, and that made the album even more enjoyable.

Yes! Amazingly good box, that! I have lended it from the library, some time ago. I was even able to hear the surround mixes, because I got a DVD-A/SACD player.

I believe you should open a new thread for Nursery Cryme, people gets confused because his thread has changed names too many times.

I love this box. I also think this is the perfect way to do bonus tracks: on a seperate disc if possible.

If Eddie Offord had produced it and had brought in Alan Parsons as the engineer, this would get much more love.

Tripled-ed already. Where is it ProgPos?

Why must my spell-checker continually underline the word "prog"?

I appreciate the feedback. Before making a decision, I'd like to share a little of the thought process behind what I've been doing. As always, I welcome your opinions!
This was posted to the "Blog" section of the PA board. I'm still relatively new here, so perhaps someone can help me understand how a Blog could work better on the ProgArchives board.
I've considered opening a new topic many times. That would have resulted in quite a few independent threads all doing "their own little things" by now... This clearly has advantages in terms of simplicity. But I felt there would have been something lost in terms of continuity with respect to the "Blog" concept.
Perhaps, I should ask, in this context, what does ProgArchives consider to be a "Blog"? I've tended to think of it as a journal of sorts... a semi-regularly "updated, chronological publication of personal thoughts".
If I were to start up a new "Blog" thread each time another topic of observation came along, it devolves into something quite less than a Blog to me. Perhaps more like a random scattering of various mini-Prog-Editorials here and there.
One answer might be, "Mark, this is a discussion board with *threads* - not a Blog".
And while I'm certainly willing to listen and consider that perspective, at this moment I would be left wondering "why then - is a section of this board set aside and reserved for Blogs?"
Your thoughts?

I'm striving for a "best of both worlds" approach here. I just "spun off" a new topic for Nursery Cryme. The next time a spin-off topic comes up, this thread won't have to change names.

Hey there
Sorry to come into this thread late, Mark. Whats it all about>? Are you just discussing various songs of Genesis or the whole band history? I have recently been getting into the intertestemental period of Genesis between Trick of the Tail and Abacab. I am endeavouring to review every Genesis album but its a slow process.
