Selling England by the Pound

'Selling England by the Pound' finds Genesis exploring themes of eroding English identity through a musically ambitious and intricate framework. The album is defined by its sophisticated arrangements, from Tony Banks’s expanded keyboard palette including the ARP Pro Soloist, to Steve Hackett's fluid guitar solos, while Peter Gabriel delivers complex, literary narratives. Co-produced by John Burns for a richer sound, the record balances sprawling progressive epics like "Firth of Fifth" with their first UK chart hit, the whimsical "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)".
