Genesis
'Wind And Wuthering'
Charisma, UK, 1976
CDS 4005
AS ENGLISH as progressive rock gets, this is an amazing album from an amazing band. The great thing about the seventies was undoubtedly the fact that record labels and bands only cared about the music - if it sold, Great. If it stiffed, who cared! Genesis, like so many others at the time, absolved themselves of the pressures to score hit singles by engaging in what was termed album rock. They created a carefully crafted work that exhibited a beginning, a middle and, more often than not, an end to their madness. 'Wind And Wuthering' is a near perfect statement from a band fast recovering from Peter Gabriel's departure. And, of course, this was the last album to feature Steve Hackett.
Sit and marvel at the jazz fusion beauty of 'Wot Gorilla', the majesty of 'The Eleventh Earl Of Mar' and the brilliance of 'All In A Mouse's Night' and then replace the needle in the grooves and start all over again. Heaven can indeed wait.
This auction is part of a fantastic collection of seventies rock which I was lucky enough to acquire. Most of these records were stored with the utmost care and sparsely played. Some were possibly never played or may have been for just a handful of times.
