i think may have already had this answer..and not sure fits the clues but...
The singles were released in order as on the album?...so abacab first single ...no reply at all 2nd single and so on
Same for The Lamb
I think it'd have to be strictly US releases for that to work, which doesn't rule it out admittedly. What do you think were the Lamb singles?
Is it the inter relationship between fly on a windshield and Broadway melody of 74 and Dodo and Lurker on side two being two separate songs but joined I don’t know worth a shot
Though it wouldn't square with it only being LP1 of Lamb, as you could say the same thing about Light Dies Down and Scree, and all the other joined/crossfaded tracks throughout the album, plus Abacab side 1 is somehow involved. But yes we're all reaching for anything at this stage.
Would anyone care to join me in calling on DecomposingMan to just tell us? But I'd understand if people want to go all Mrs Doyle ("NO CLUES!") and insist on getting the answer no matter how long it takes. (I don't suppose the answer is 'Father Todd Unctious'?)
It's just that I'm starting to think correctly answering this simple question is going to last longer than coronavirus.
On the Lamb LP, fly on a windshield and Broadway melody are listed as separate tracks on the label but are a single track on the vinyl. On Abacab, the same is true of Dodo and Lurker.
^ I was just going to say that. Two "songs" not separated by an empty groove.
Is it to do with the physical vinyl album itself
Everyone's forgetting or didn't notice that DecomposingMan said you don't need to physically look at the LPs, just to "look carefully" at the track listings on Wikipedia.
That’s a great suggestion but then could there be some doubt as to where Duchess begins or is it definitely at the end of the drum machine passage and parts of sides three and four of The Lamb blend a bit
And also, why would it be both sides of Abacab with all track breaks on side 1, and only LP1 of Lamb which has crossfades all through both LPs. But hey I think we're all scrabbling around for the simple answer!
When I only had vinyl I thought BMO1974 started at the dramatic music but the CD showed it was still FOAW.
Yeah the CD thing was a manufacturing error that persisted. I think it programmed BM74 as just the little tranquil coda before Cuckoo.
Go to the Wikipedia page for each album and look carefully at the Track Listings.
Done that.

(that smiley face isn't helping.....!)
Sorry I meant...
There are six tracks on each side.
But one's 6-5 and the other's 4-6.
I've wracked my brain but drawn a complete blank.
Following the last devloppement of the covid in England, I'm not sure that the tour can take place in April?
I thought it unlikely all along, even more so now.

Yup. Starting to really worry here. If they have to cancel again, which is looking nailed on, I fear they might just abandon the idea altogether.
I never thought the rescheduled shows would happen and I agree the next step will likely be full cancellation.
I feel feel a bit cheated here, as I bought The Lamb and Abacab on the same day in December 1981 ( and I can;t select that). This was preparation for the first time I saw them at the NEC that month.
Looking back, Abacab and The Lamb is a bizarre first album combination!
Maybe you can recall which album you physically picked up first? Which one the cashier rang up first?
For me, not a bizarre first album combination at all. In fact it's my favourite two Genesis albums, The Lamb first, by a long way.

SEBTP, about 1978/9, I was 13. It cost £3.50 as I recall.
I am one of the 7 people who voted for Abacab.
Me too, I think. I'd usually vote that, Lamb and either Duke or Selling. Those 2 pairs of back to back albums are their absolute peak for me.
EDIT: Just checked, I voted Selling. Other days I'd vote Duke but Lamb and Abacab are always my top 2.
*Gulp* alright so my turn for a question... Here it goes. What unusual thing do Ripples and I Don't Care Anymore have in common from a live performance perspective?
I've got an idea, might be wrong of course but in case it's right I'm hanging back so as not to keep barging in. But I'll pm you.

Huh. I'd have guessed That's All. It does make sense - IT is on the radio a LOT here. I know they've only hit number 1 on the singles charts in the US and number 1 on the album charts in the UK too. Which is kind of weird.
Why weird?
Heard a track on the radio today by Josefin Öhrn + The Liberation - hadn't heard of them before. Been listening to a couple of others on Youtube, not sure how to describe it but I like it. So far it's a bit sort of dream/indie.

Ive always been annoyed at those that have never gotten over the shock of PG leaving G. Just been listening to some Roxy Music and realised I'm still furious about Manifesto!
I was never angry about Manifesto, more sighingly disappointed. But I was really miffed they replaced the original and superior Angel Eyes with the thin fluffy single version.
How can there not be a Roxy thread to put this in? Maybe we should start one.
