It is this copy https://www.discogs.com/Genesis-The-Lamb-Lies-Down-On-Broadway/release/9321332 The ones to seek out are Original UK (cheap but good luck finding a good quality copy) https://www.discogs.com/Genesis-The-Lamb-Lies-Down-On-Broadway/release/5553431 Or the Classic (which is actually quite affordable by the standards of this series) https://www.discogs.com/Genesis-The-Lamb-Lies-Down-On-Broadway/release/694626 |
boxerq12- I enjoy seeing revival of R&R "whats best in pressing" subject threads. Having not heard the R.I., I will just say my subjective opinion is the trick is finding a "stamper" quality ORIGINAL press. Unfortunately, this is getting tougher$$ to do. If its pre 1980 R&R, I go for a non bar coded press of anything. Personally, I’m always disappointed in these reissues. To my ears, always punched up bass. When it’s a matter of a title deemed unobtanium, I concede, and buy new. If you agree with "Hot Stamper" guy, he even believes a regular domestic press is the one to own. Not in agreement with some of his opinion on the stamper thing. I don’t think even the master is perfecto, as this stuff is "busy" proggy R&R. Yes,King Crimson,ELP...etc. suffer from not having nicer masters. Playing imperfection on the best one can afford is where it gets dicey. My personal copy is reasonably clean period press. Very good,dynamic sounding copy. Title track "Lamb" sounds glorious when the volume is at 2:00 o’clock at the tubes are cookin. Being the snobby purist, I would NEVER play an album of this caliber via C/D or file! Sacrocanct to NOT play the record of a good title. |
Digital heretic and Genesis fan that I am (and at the risk of offending tablejockey’s analog sensibilities)... https://www.discogs.com/Genesis-The-Lamb-Lies-Down-On-Broadway/release/1894207 ’IT’ :-) is a great recording; music as gripping now as when first released over 40 years ago. "...it is inside Spirit, with enough grit to survive...." |
