@bgross,

Not familiar with "Forward Children". Own most of M.C.Taylor’s output. Saw him live on tour with Tift Merritt's "friends" tour a couple years back.

And Then There Were Three .... Genesis.

Eek!

SQ is pretty lousy on this copy, very tilted up in the treble , thin and bass is just boomy, not defined at all.

Don't remember even the CD sounding this bad.
Into the charity pile it will go.

@uberwaltz,

Still haven't listened to my copy that was given to me. Based upon your impressions, I now know why it was given to me.

I think part of the problem is they squeezed so much music onto a single side. Hence no dynamics or life, simply because there was not enough groove room to cut it.

It really needed to be a double album

@tomic601 I have 2 copies of the original release and they sound pretty good. But to answer your question, I have no idea. There have been over 5000 pressings. My guess would be the earlier the better.
More to discover
