Foxtrot (Atlantic 75 Series) vinyl

Back in prog's glory days of the early 70s, the sound was less about stadium-sized pomp and ceremony and more focused on experimentation and eccentricity, as perfectly typified by Genesis in their original run. As part of Atlantic's 75 year-celebrations, the classic albums from the Gabriel-Collins-Hackett line-up are being reissued as audiophile editions on double vinyl, all the better to savour the expansive sound. Foxtrot came hot on the heels of Nursery Cryme, taking a spikier direction but still absolutely committed to long and winding compositions folding rock, folk, jazz and broader influences into one brilliantly curious whole.
