SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND

Selling England By The Pound - for me it stands for a high musical standard, wonderful ideas and the greatest progressive rock tunes ever written (beside TLLDOB and Foxtrott). I remember how I got into Genesis a few years ago, I guess I was 19 or so. I know that there was a Band called Genesis, I loved their works with Phil Collins and the "Old Medley" since I was a child but on this god given day I read a german prog-rock magazin I noticed an Interview with the Bandleader of "The Musical Box". Shortly there after I went to my local LP Shop and bought "SEBTP", "Foxtrott", "Seconds Out" and "Nursery Crime". I loved "SEBTP" the most - cause of "I Know What I Like". Later I noticed Cinema Show, "Firth Of The Fifth", "Battle of the Epping Forrest" and others. I was so positively shocked!!! After visiting "The Musical Box" the first time I fell in love with Cinema Show and since that day I listened to the LP mostly every second day. There are just a few LP's that I love so much and for me as a musician Genesis is the best Band I have ever heard beside the Mothers. I know this is a personal not objective review - but who cares? I think there is no one out there who wouldn't feel the same 'bout this LP!
