Release Date: 1973
Label: Charisma

In the beginning Peter Gabriel created a band with friends from Charterhouse School. Now the band were talentless but enthusiastic. Psychedelia surrounded the skies and street, but the Spirit of Prog was hovering over the waters.
And Gabriel said, "I've written some new poems". And he had. The band saw the lyrics were good, and they wrote some sounds to go with the poems. They called the words "lyrics" and the sounds "music". And there was music, and there was lyrics - the first song.
And Gabriel said, "let us release four studio albums and then record what is arguably our best album, "Selling England by the Pound". And it was so.

Rating: 9/10
