Despite all of the flack chucked at it, I rather like this album.
It's sufficiently different to his Ultravox stuff and has some really good, 'full' sounding tracks. Good effort, Midge. ;) |
|
I have absolutely no idea which release I have but I'll opt for this as a "best-fit".
Side 1 matrix run-out looks like BPRS 4501 4S ï ^7 Side 2 matrix run-out looks like BPRS 4502 2S 9S ï And my sleeve on the front just says 'Previously... See full review |

£34 for a 7" single?!
Who in their right mind is going to pay that? |
|
This should be linked to the profile of band Chillum (2) but the link (from unofficial albums) doesn't work.
Can somebody "in the know" please fix it? And... Why is it unofficial? See... See full review |

The front of the sleeve - and the spine - clearly names the album 'CHARISMA KEYBOARDS' yet the two labels either side of the vinyl simply go with 'KEYBOARDS'.
|
|
B-side tracks are non-album and unavailable anywhere else.
More words... |
|
Agree 100%
More words, words, words, and yet more words! |
|
Love the music, but which idiot graphic designer decided that it was a good idea to put yellow lyrics (and other wordage) on a grey background?!
Moron. 🤡 |
|
Right...
My record label looks identical to this, complete with the indented rings. However, my JA 2001 vinyl copy has a clear hype sticker, not black. It has matrix runouts: Side 1: JA 2001 AB2 Side 2: JA 2001 B (scratched out ∆) I TOWN HOUSE What... See full review |

Is it my perception of it, or does the first side of this album actually just not 'go anywhere'?
It seems to just ramble on with quiet sections and then a bit of a song and then more 'commentary'. It's very much a RW solo effort, IMHO. |
|
My copy of this has the picture of John Wetton 'at a distance' on the back of the sleeve as per the original worldwide release.
I wonder if someone has simply switched the sleeve at some point? Fabulous album by the way! |
|
Interesting history of the band, but tells us nowt about this release.
|
|
Genuinely progressive, if not one of the MOST progressive of albums.
Yes, I understand the criticism, especially where the track 'Infinity' is concerned, but the vast majority of the material here is excellent. As a youngster growing up I hated all... See full review |

The first bonus track is incorrectly titled.
Instead of Oh Don't It Make You Want To Cry it should be Oh My (Don't It Make You Want To Cry) as seen on the original 1974 single... See full review |

Love this!
'Garden of Flowers' (4:14) is from the original album; the remainder are from the second CD only available in the Deluxe 2CD version. |
|
This is an album by The Enid in everything but name.
|
|
Love this album; always have done, right from when first I had it on cassette back in 1975.
Beautiful songs. Point of order: the title of B1 is wrongly spelled on the record label. There it says "Dabsongs Conshirtoe" instead of [i]"The Dabsong... See full review |

Superb album!
If you liked early Genesis - "Trespass" period - then you'll love this. Points of order... ⇛"The Vicar" and "Vic Stench" mentioned as players, are both pseudonyms of Anthony Phillips himself. ⇛The tallies for song lengths on the golf... See full review |

Another flawless Hackett release.
Beautiful, crisp, clean, quiet sound with no background noise. And, once again, Inside Out deliver with poly-lined black inner sleeves, ergo NO STATIC!!! Stunning package!👍👍👍 Incidentally, my copy has the white "hype... See full review |

I love Hackett's releases.
His material is as close as anybody could ever get to the original Genesis sound. The 'live' albums that he releases these days are simply stunning - and this one is no different. Absolutely beautiful sound and production... See full review |
|
"Stunning" is pushing it a bit, but it's certainly quite pleasant.
|
|
Strange one.
I have a review of this album from a 31st August 1974 issue of Melody Maker wherein it is clearly titled 'Survivor' and not 'Georgie... See full review |

Used to have this on CD when it was released back in 1999; now added as vinyl.
Great if you're into dreamy prog landscapes. As an aside, this is released by elements of the band itself (I'm not sure exactly which members though). Their website is here... See full review |
|
Agree, but...
I've had two copies. The first was covered with 'invisible' scratches. I certainly couldn't see them but they were very audible. I am very careful when taking the record out of the inner before transferring it to an anti-static poly... See full review |

i agree with what others have said: I love 'Transformer' but, lyrically and musically, this was his finest album.
Every song is great. RIP Lou. |
|
Two points of interest here...
At 3m 25s the A-side is an edited version of the 'Within Reach' album track (4m 40s) and is, I believe, a different mix. It certainly... See full review |

What a great album this is.
And, technically/sonically it is excellent too. No problems/issues for me. |

[quote=eb2]
It's legal in the EU because they altered their copyright/public domain laws a few years back. In a nutshell, live radio broadcasts are not covered after a short period of time. But that is not the case in the US, among other countries,... See full review |

Why has this been "blocked from sale in the marketplace"?
As far as I am aware it is not illegal because, being 50 years old, the material is out of BBC copyright. Or that's what the internet 'noise' suggests, anyway. Can someone please explain this to me? See full review |
|
My version of this has lots of 'pops' all over all four sides.
They're not static. Does anyone else suffer with this? Or do I need to hunt down another copy? |
|
Superb quality!
No pops, clicks or adverse sounds. My only quibble is that it's a tad too quiet; crank it up to 11! 😁 Shut your eyes and enjoy the Thin Lizzy for the 2020s. |
|
Mine is an excellent copy too, both album and single.
And - probably because it's NOT a 180gm release - there are no static pops to irritate the listener! Lovely, clean sound. 👍 Definitely worth hunting down (mine was just £22 on eBay!)... See full review |
|
My copy plays beautifully - except for the irritating static clicks that I always get with these heavyweight 180gm issues.
I use a Zerostat 3 Milty gun on them but it soon comes back (in different places too). Strange - never an issue with any of my... See full review |

I thought that all of these Inner Sanctum releases had been declared illegal?
Several years ago The Enid won a court ruling that all Gerald Palmer/Inner Sanctum releases had to be withdrawn from sale as they were all counterfeit and the band received... See full review |

No problems with this pressing at all.
Sounds great and it's clean as a whistle; not a pop, click or fart anywhere. I've always loved this album and it's a delight to have such a good vinyl version. |
|
My Amazon copy was also very 'clicky' despite being cleaned.
I've sent it back and await a replacement... |
|
As others have said, this vinyl is flawless.
Superb sound and a beautiful package. My copy is numbered 004436. I now have this on vinyl, CD and DVD, the latter being probably the most stunning concert DVD ever. I also saw them at Leeds Arena on the... See full review |

Tracks are (excerpts)
Side A: A Smile Is Diamond; Lucia Loser; Don'tcha Wanna (5:19) Side B: Money Talk; Still Burning (4:01) |

Beautiful album and far better than the English re-hash, 'The World Became The World'.
It's just a pity that this is a very slimmed-down... See full review |

Brilliant! Simply brilliant!
Great quality, great sound, great packaging, classic line-up (almost - RIP Glen Buxton) - what more could you want?! Mine is numbered 372/5000 |
|
I've always enjoyed the early Genesis stuff although I know that it's not to everybody's taste.
The quality here is very good indeed, but I am disappointed by the packaging which doesn't give any hint as to the personnel at each session, nor does it... See full review |

Where did the volume go in this LP?
25 tracks spread over only 4 sides of vinyl probably answers that question. For best effects, just simply TURN IT UP! |
|
Great title.
Very PC. Or, rather, not so very much... |
|
Forget School's Out (which is, of course, absolutely excellent) because this is Alice's best single by a million zillion miles!
|
|
Have to agree with dade72 - this is brilliant example of 2020s Rock Progressivo Italiano.
There are hints of jazz and even blues in there but the prog-feel is all over the four... See full review |
