Geez!
This from Wikipedia:
"Originally the band did not think of it as anything more than a joke, because the song was too simple, too bluesy and completely unlike Genesis' style. Tony Banks said in an interview "It was one of those bits you thought was going to go nowhere. It sounded fun, but wasn't really special".
Pretty much sums up my thoughts on that one! :)

Came with a numbered print too which I'd forgotten about. So TNSMN had this exclusive edition of 500... and sold out?? That's bloody impressive, jeez.
On another note, see your Transmission-variant Carpenter has turned up, @ScoJo... what are your thoughts?
Also, how many variants are there for this one, I see new ones turning up that I haven't seen before.

At least this one was close enough. ;)Spun out of control wrote: ↑Fri Feb 05, 2021 6:12 pm Ha, ha :)This version sounds really good, enjoying the LP although could only listen to side A today.

As an aside (and honestly, who really gives a shit? You see so much griping about this kinda thing on FB groups...) the record looks quite different to the pre-release image: that was black blobs against yellow, the actual LP is three black 'stripes'. Yeah, as I say..... and so what? ;-)
