WIND & WUTHERING (180g)

Limited 180gm vinyl LP repressing of this album by the iconic British outfit. On this 1976 album the group s second after Phil Collins took over lead vocal duties from Peter Gabriel Genesis continues to make art-rock that s both accessible and emotional if less overly quirky than with the Gabriel-fronted lineup. The extended epics Eleventh Earl of Mar and One for the Vine showcase the group s still-sharp progressive instincts while Wot Gorilla? and All in a Mouse s Night demonstrate a gently eccentric sense of humor. Meanwhile the lilting love song Your Own Special Way presages the string of romantic ballads that would soon make Genesis a world-class hit machine.
