EW&F - I've not properly explored their music. Good album to start with? I think from what I know EWF of what they have produced is pretty good, it is quite a big catalogue. A very tight professional band with a great live reputation. Spot on !

This arrived today which I had pre-ordered. I have not heard it since at my friends in 1974/5 and I had forgotten just what a stunning album it is, a mix of Psychedelic rock as was the penchant in '67, with some very interesting quirky songs, form the band, and it has The Who's stamp all over it, you can also get the feel for the direction they were going with Pete Townsends compositions especially on Real. If you like The Who then I would recommend you grab a copy of this while you can. The pressing SQ on my copy is superb on both LPs. Get LP here!!!The Who – The Who Sell Out Label: Polydor – 7711435 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, 2*LP1 Original Stereo LP and LP2 of Bonus Tracks in Stereo Country: UK Released: 20 Apr 2021 Genre: Rock Style: Psychedelic Rock, Mod

Added to the collection to complete it in terms of studio albums, this one, originally released 1997, is much maligned IMO, not hearing it before I approached it with and open mind. Phil Collins having left the band, leaving Banks and Rutherford, was replaced on vocals by Ray Wilson(ex Stiltskin), drumming mainly done by Nir Zidkyahu(ex Stiltskin). To the album, the songs are actually pretty good, "Calling All Stations" is reminiscent of having a later Pink Floyd feel to it, with soaring guitar solo. Some have a 'Mike and the Mechanics' feel, which you might expect, "If that's what you need" has a 'Wind and Whispering feel, with sweeping keyboards from Banks with an underlying muted rhythm guitar. Ray Wilson does a very good job vocally, with a great range and distinctive voice on the whole album. I would say all the tracks are expertly crafted, recorded and produced, I presume Genesis and the recording company may think so as well having gone to the trouble to re-release with 1/2 speed mastering at Abbey Road. 'The Dividing Line" has a very tight instrumental instrumental, the vocal is well up there, a very strong track, more typical of a driving Genesis number that could have become a mainstay. "Uncertain Weather" has a "Watcher in the Skies" aspect to it, in a very good way, it has some very low pounding bass pedal lines from Mr Banks. So IMHO if you like Genesis and can accept it without Gabriel or Collins crooning then it is actually pretty good, it was a shame that some of the fanbase left them at the time, maybe because Mr Collins had become such a powerful force in the act and on his own he overshadowed the group. Genesis – ...Calling All Stations... Label: Virgin – 00602567489757, UMC – 6748975 Series: Mastered At Abbey Road Studios - Half Speed Mastering – Format: Vinyl, LP, Vinyl, LP, Single Sided, Etched, Half Speed Remaster, 180g Vinyl All Media, Album, Reissue Country: Europe Released: 03 Aug 2018
