Was a big fan of the original band back in day. Cant say I ever noticed but then I probably wasnt too bothered. Certainly sure none were a mile out

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Back in the day just about everyone had ceramic cartridges.Originally Posted by struth
Perhaps there lies the gateway to the mystery.
Just played a nice new copy of Nursery Cryme (2007 remix/remaster), and the sound of it took me back 40 or so years .....

Some ceramic cartridges actually sound quite decent. Acos and Decca spring to mind. Not the most refined sound maybe, but surprisngly transparent and lots of vitality.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Funnily enough, it's the vitality that had me rapt throughout Nursery Cryme just now.
It had a similar vitality and vivid quality back in '73/'74.

Ah. Well if you like that, you'll have to get a Decca London!

Really like the CD reissues of the early Genesis albums which is why I do not have any on vinyl. One thing I was always aware of though is that I always thought that Genesis albums were very toppy and thin. I never was truly happy with any of their albums. I think though that my favourite reissue has to be Trick of the Tail.

I would lay the blame of you hearing them as toppy and thin squarely on the
potentiometer you use http://www.primaluna-usa.com/prologue-three/

I may be wrong but I'm not sure I owned this amplifier back in 1972 but throughout my entire time with Genesis, their albums have always been thin and weedy. Only now with this powerful, warm sounding EL34 amplifier have they actually started to open up.
