Maybe they might cover the old Presley tune...

Old Shep.

Thank you Phil for the information.

July 1974.

You need to write a book.

I have a bid for FGTR currently on ebay.

1973 according to Discogs.

Thank you about the cassette colour information.

I do have that Mark Jones book so I have been reading up about this.

My problem is trying to work out what the cassettes looked like in 1972.

Phil Morris has kindly photographed two different cassette labels. Which one was published first? Which one appeared later on.

I do not know.

My gut feeling tells me the cassette on the left appeared first

The one on the right appeared later on when everything was reissued with the release of a subsequent album. Perhaps Selling England. From a rarity point of view the earlier cassette should be worth more. Genesis were not selling massively in mid 1972. They were a year later.

I do have both cassettes. Forever on the search for early Genesis cassettes

I'm saving mine for a rainy day.

What a treat.

Thank you.

Happy Happy NY.

Best wishes to all.

I have read Cixin Lui trilogy.

It took me about a month.

Tremendous stuff.

Apparently about to come out on Netflix.

I am a big Alastair Reynolds fan too.

My favourite prog band did a free Christmas CD last Christmas.

I hope this link works. Needless to say some of this sounds spooky scary Christmas. Very like a soundtrack.

Thank you Backdrifter.

Those Queen thoughts mirror mine.

Excellent flamboyant singer and terrible songs.

I have not even heard the first few albums due to the awful School disco 'we are the champions' . Some relative bought me Hot Space on cassette. Just awful.

Hated everything they did apart from Innuendo which I bought. On cassette again ironically.

In the last few years I loved Those were the days of your life. But I get to thinking that might have been a Freddie tune, not Brian May.

Brian May seems like a lovely bloke with a lookalike wife though.

Well I am glad the Genesis Trivia quiz is finally back.

I have looked for it every evening.

Please keep it going

Ps I don't have the answer to number 3

Bit controversial this but I have always hated Brian May's guitar tone. May always plays the same screechy tone so I have steered well away from Queen as a result. I understand the brilliance of some of Queen's records in some people's eyes so I don't admit this in public very much.

If Oasis and Queen had a supergroup together I would have to leave the country.

I really hate Oasis.

The very sight of them makes me ill.

Most hated song is: Wonderwall.

I used to hate Whitney Houston but I heard 'I have nothing' and now I really respect her. She really sings that one so well.

Mr Farmer.

£140.

What about Mrs. Farmer?

An enclosed lyric sheet?

Sorry I meant...

There are six tracks on each side.

Both of those discs have six tracks.

Just been thinking about Abacab different colour sleeves. I bought two at the time.

But I am going to try this answer...

Both Abacab and Lamb record one had the title song as track one.

I am slowly realising that I know very little about my favourite band.

Great question

Can I just say that I am really enjoying the Genesis trivia quiz.

I have been monitoring it for a while.

Sadly I haven't got an answer to this brilliant question although countless live renditions of Ripples and Don't care anymore are rattling around my head.

Genesis original singer in Charterhouse days...
