Searched my collection for something different to listen to at work today, and picked Genesis' Selling England by the Pound CD. IMHO, still one of the best Genesis albums of all. I don't think I need to add to the numerous reviews of it .. Some people would choose The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, but even after listening to both I still pick SEBTP.
My faforite tracks out of this album are Dancing with the Moonlit Knights, Firth of Fifth and Battle of Epping Forest. Somehow the intro to Dancing with the moonlit knights always gives me a 'strange' feeling that draws me to this song, also Steve Hackett's guitar sound there is awesome.
Artwork wise, there is just no comparison between the CD version and the LP cover, that's one other big advantage that LP has over CD-s.
I still could not fathom how their music can do a complete turnaround into the latter songs like Mama, Home by the Sea, etc. How the mighty have fallen!!
