Where is this from? Is this a GENESIS documentary? Is it available on DVD?

Nursery Cryme was the first Genesis album I heard.....i was about 15 years old at the time. 'The Musical Box' grabbed my ears right from the start and the album went from one amazing song to the next. I spent hours looking at the album illustrations and re-reading the lyrics.Very surreal and so original. 'For Absent Friends' and 'Harlequin' are simply beautiful. The power and majesty in 'The Fountain of Salmacis' is amazing. And enter Steve Hackett on guitar and Phil Collins on drums! Masterful.

I was 14 when "Nursery Crime" was released in 1971, and I remember that on initial listen, my world changed instantly. What struck me the most was that I didn't consider Genesis to be a Rock Band. They were something unique from somewhere else; a band sent back by time machine and recorded onto Edison wax cylinders. They were both behind and beyond the world circa 1971. Even with my inevitable gathering of Crimson, Van der Generator et al, Gabriel era Genesis was just something apar

Gabriel talks SOOOO slowly

THESE GUYS ARE FUCKING AWESOME!!

[scottleeper]

guitar tapping in '71? awesome!!

[ozoshah]

actually the bassdrum in the fast sections for that time is impressive, in "genesis live" is particularly in evidence if i dont remember bad

What I love about genesis is the way pete sings the vocal lines. Up and down, slow and fast. Something I can't quite describe. He doesn't sing in a very straight ahead way. Very interesting.

I agree with Tony Banks when he said that this album was the start of the early Genesis sound - even although ( The Musical Box aside ) I still prefer Trespass as an album overall.

"I think Pete enjoyed having uh... ahem... Phil singing."

A sloppy singer would enjoy having the camera on his face while an unseen person in the background is singing it properly in a similar voice.

Mike knows which one made him rich.

[crazyboijihad]

in my opinion it was the best genesis album

I remember the pink Charisma label pre-dated the Mad Hatter one. Nursery Cryme was originally released with the pink label as I recall.
