Brief Info: The fourth Genesis album and third on Charisma, this one was not issued on the pink label, this is first B&C credited large hatter original. A super album it is too, and by now the band were fast gaining a cult following within the progressive market. Gabriel’s on-stage theatricals were getting more dramatic and the music was getting more complex and adventurous. ‘Foxtrot’ includes the live stage favourite in the very long ‘Supper’s Ready’ which occupies most of side two and is broken into seven segments. It starts off with the classic ‘Watcher of the Skies’ and there is no filler material on this classic prog set. This album is beautifully packaged too with a fantastic cover and this vintage copy includes the original Charisma inner bag too. This copy looks hardly played and is likely to please most Genesis fans (please check out my impressive original ‘Trespass’ also). Cover Grade and Format: EXCELLENT(++): an unlaminated gatefold format that is textured front and back (the inside is smooth). Like the labels, this cover has the original B&C credits and was printed and made in England by the E. J. Day Group. This one has the spine text in red and reading vertically (please see my close-ups of this detail). The original ‘Charisma puts a little colour in our cheeks’ promotional inner sleeve is also included. Cover Front: Superb and as close to my highest Mint(-) grade as they will get. The textured surface is clean, fresh with rich unfaded colour and no speckle to the raised areas. I am struggling to find a crease at all and any surface blemishes are minuscule. This is one to hold, enjoy and treasure. Cover Back: Practically the same as the front. One very small and faint surface rub trace that barely even shows and look mega hard to even locate it. The lack of ringwear here is always the best news possible. Cover Inner Gatefold: Little short of as made and looking marvellous. Top Edges: Any rub traces are tiny and faint. Bottom Edges: Light, patchy rubbing, a little more near towards the right corners. These storage edges rarely remain totally unscathed and few will show less wear. Right Edge(s), and Type: Clean and mostly sharp to very sharp with little wear at all, any thickening or burring tiny and light. Record enters on the back edge. Spine and Text: A fantastic spine too with barely any traces of rubbing to t... read more
