Hello friends.

I was reminded that this reaction to Genesis' Nursery Cryme is now blocked worldwide on YouTube. So, I'm making it available here to our Patrons. I hope you enjoy!

When are you going to hit some more Rush?

This sounds like the Steven Wilson remix...I am going to throw out a possibly unpopular opinion and say I prefer the original mixes...

David Kingma

One of the original band members was Anthony Phillips, that’s who was referenced on the writing credit with Rutherford. In later interviews with the band, everyone calls him Ant.

Mark Brennan

Wonderful album. Thanks Doug.

Dr. D, you just mentioned a 12 string guitar but if you watch one of YouTube videos of them in concert from the early 70s you will see that Steve, Mike, and Tony all play one together, blew my mind.

The key (pun intended) to Harold The Barrel is that various lines are sung by various, unrelated characters. Like an opera's libretto. Once I found a used copy of the album WITH LINER NOTES, I learned this. Makes much more sense now.

Regarding Seven Stones, I always interpreted it as faith in both internal instinct and external guidance; and to not question either. In the last verse the farmer was looking for the quick fix, the mystical magic of the seven stones. Which of course is a load of hooey, and he gets taken.

This album was my introduction to Genesis after hearing them "Musical Box" on WNEW-FM in NYC on Scott Muni's "Things From England" slot in 1972. I bought the album as a Charisma import (along with my first Monty Python album), and proceeded to wear it out. I was utterly charmed. It's church-like, pastoral, eccentric, a little Crimson-ish, occasionally dark and threatening. There are moments of exceptional delicacy as well as distorted beauty, and the balance between keyboard-dominated and guitar-dominated numbers makes for a throughly enjoyable listen. Both, the intro to 'Salmacis' and the mellotron climax in 'Seven Stones' floored me like nothing since first hearing In the Court of the Crimson King. Thanks for bringing this one back out, Doug !

The "creepy ghost " comment is amusing on The Musical Box 😃
