“Nothng but manna from analog heaven can be found within the balance of Analogue Productions’ year-long-plus Atlantic 75 anniversary reissue series … but to my ears, the crème de la crème of the lot are all the reissuances culled from the prime, more progressive-leaning ’70s era of the Genesis catalog. … A few highlights to whet your aural whistle: 1) Mike Rutherford’s high-pitched, 12-string acoustic guitarwork and the overall rise/fall drama of “The Musical Box” (LP1, Side 1, Track 1, November 1971’s Nursery Cryme). 2) The full majesty of Tony Banks’ lengthy piano intro (and outro!) and Steve Hackett’s career-defining guitar solo on “Firth of Fifth” (LP1, Side 2, Track 1, September 1973’s Selling England by the Pound). 3) Peter Gabriel’s pleading lead vocals and Phil Collins’ ever-clever drumming on “Back in N.Y.C.” (LP2, Side 3, Track 1, November 1974’s The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway). 4) The all-in, all-band composition of the mostly instrumental “Los Endos,” replete with thematically squonky, volcanic callbacks to prior tracks and other suppers past (LP2, Side 4, Track 2, A Trick of the Tail). I could go on — and I will, when I can!” —  Mike Mettler, AnalogPlanet‘s Top LPs of 2024, Dec. 20, 2024.
