SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND
Written by Wilfred de Bruijn

For everyone into prog, this is a classic! If you have never heard this album in your life, you should go back to the kindergarden of prog and ask your money back. To understand the roots of progressive music this 1973 album is essential. It has acoustics, epics and instrumentals and the underlying concept of the album is the mentality and people in the England of long forgotten times and nowadays. On this album Phil Collins is still where he belongs (behind the drums) although he's taking care of the vocals in one song. The singing on the rest of the album is done by Peter Gabriel. Michael Rutherford, Stephen Hackett and Tony Banks complete the line-up on this wonderful record. Special attention to the lyrics (as on every early Genesis recording). Enjoy!
