I had a copy of Selling England on vinyl.I suppose this shows my age.This was a much underrated album on release.On re-hearing it-it has really stood the test of time.

Major bias ahead!!!
This is my No1 Desert Island Disc
For me this is not only the greatest Genesis Album but my personal fav album of all time.
I remember listening this on vinyl for the first time and I was blown away then - It just never gets boring.
This is a very Instrumental album and the instrumentation is put to good use.
No grand opening (Such as on Watcher of the Skies from Foxtrot) the opening track Dancing with the moonlit Knight starts with Gabriels unaccompanied vocal and then slowly builds to a powerhouse middle section driven by Hackett.
I know what I like was the only UK Gabriel era hit single (reaching 21 in the charts) a great track.
The third track "Firth of Fifth" is one of my fav Genesis tracks - the instrumental piece (played on their recent 2007 Tour) is, to me the best piece of music ever written
More fool me features Collins on vocals - a beautiful, quiet piece
Battle of Epping Forest goes here there and everywhere - there are more characters in this song than there were extras in Ben Hur (well maybe not quite) - A great song but not the best on the album
After the Ordeal is a great instrumental piece which is much like what would appear on Hacketts solo albums a few years later
Cinema show is just classic Genesis with the Banks stealing the show - one of the greats
Aisle of Plenty - a short piece which revists moonlit knight and gently fades the album to a close
The only thing left to say is - If you don't already have this album WHY NOT!!!

) This was purchased as a present for mt sister but I haven't beenable to part with it so far as it's so good.
This is probably one of the best albums Genesis ever recorded, especially if like me, you really like the music of Steve Hackett and the contribution he made to the band.No wonder Peter Gabriel left, whole chunks of this album don't need his contribution!
