Background Information

  Click on the link to find the original source of this information: - Nursery Cryme If Genesis truly established themselves as progressive rockers on Trespass, Nursery Cryme is where their signature persona was unveiled: true English eccentrics, one part Lewis Carroll and one part Syd Barrett, creating a fanciful world that emphasized the band's instrumental prowess as much as Peter Gabriel's theatricality. Which isn't to say that all of Nursery Cryme works.

There are times when the whimsy is overwhelming, just as there are periods when there's too much instrumental indulgence, yet there's a charm to this indulgence, since the group is letting itself run wild. Even if they've yet to find the furthest reaches of their imagination, part of the charm is hearing them test out its limits, something that does result in genuine masterpieces, as on "The Musical Box" and "The Return of the Giant Hogweed," two epics that dominate the first side of the album and give it its foundation.

If the second side isn't quite as compelling or quite as structured, it doesn't quite matter because these are the songs that showed what Genesis could do, and they still stand as pinnacles of what the band could achieve.

All records will be sent in professional mailers with two cardboard stiffeners. The record will be removed from the sleeve to protect it during transit. I will always obtain a certificate of posting for each parcel.

If you live outside Europe and have requested Signed For postage with additional insurance to cover the whole cost of the record, the insured value must match the value on the customs form, otherwise the Post Office will refuse to accept the parcel. Without additional insurance, the maximum compensation payable is £34.00.
