Full review
I have been listening to this album since it was released (Bloody hell that dates me)
I originally bought it on vinyl in 1973, a collectors SuperVinyl pressing and the CD recently, and have been listening to Selling England on and off for all of those years.
Selling England by the Pound is one of genesis best records along with Foxtrot and The Lamb Lies down on Broadway. Sorry guys but genesis went into a rapid slide when Peter Gabriel left.
A lot of the music on Selling England send shivers down my spine, notably Firth of Fifth and The Cinema Show/Aisle of plenty. The words on The Battle of Epping Forest are an absolute hoot...
This is Selling England by the Pound at it's best, unlike Blair who is Selling England by the Kilo down the river, as Imperial measures are deemed illegal!!!!!
Want classic Genesis? then buy this one and go for Foxtrot too. The latter has the truly wonderful "Supper's Ready" and "Can Utility and the Coastliners"
