A strange, beautiful, and deeply English masterpiece — Genesis at the height of their progressive powers.
Selling England by the Pound stands as one of Genesis’ most beloved and important albums: a dazzling blend of pastoral beauty, theatrical storytelling, social satire, classical ambition, and surreal English humour. Released during the band’s classic Peter Gabriel era, the album captured Genesis at a rare moment of balance — ambitious yet elegant, complex yet melodic, eccentric yet emotionally powerful.
This book explores the album in depth, from the haunting opening question of “Dancing with the Moonlit Knight” to the supermarket satire of “Aisle of Plenty.” Along the way, it examines the majestic structure of “Firth of Fifth,” Steve Hackett’s legendary guitar solo, Phil Collins’ early lead vocal on “More Fool Me,” the comic chaos of “The Battle of Epping Forest,” and the mythic transformation of “The Cinema Show.”
More than a track-by-track study, this is a journey into the world Genesis created: a dreamlike England of moonlit knights, lawnmowers, gangland battles, classical mythology, fading traditions, and consumer culture. It looks at the album’s recording, artwork, live performances, critical reception, commercial breakthrough, and lasting place in progressive rock history.
For fans of Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, Phil Collins, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, and classic progressive rock, this book offers a detailed celebration of one of the genre’s essential albums.
Strange, funny, beautiful, and musically brilliant, Selling England by the Pound remains central to the Genesis legend — and this book explains why.
