More Genesis
More Prog Rock
- An early UK Charisma pressing (only the second copy to hit the site in over three years) with two solid Double Plus (A++) sides
- If you’re a fan of early Genesis, or 70s progressive rock in general, it’s hard to do much better than this outstanding import
- One of the Must Own Genesis recordings but also one of the harder titles to find with the right sound and audiophile surfaces in our experience
- Which we hope will explain the pricing – so many copies come with marks and other surface issues that it does indeed take us three years to get a shootout going
- 5 stars: “… the album showcases the band’s narrative force on a small scale as well as large that makes this their arguable high-water mark.”
What do the better Hot Stamper copies give you? Remarkable dynamics and clarity, a huge, open soundstage and rich, full-bodied tonality.
It’s beyond difficult to find good sounding copies of the early Genesis albums, but we recently managed to pull together enough clean copies to get this shootout going again and came up with some real knockout sides! Anyone who has tried to find good sounding copies of this album knows what a tough task it can be. We’ve tried to do this shootout a number of times since 2005 and until 2012 had almost nothing to show for it. But Hot Stampers copies do exist, and this very one proves it!
