It's almost enough to make you wonder what Stanley thinks might
qualify as a "good" Genesis album...
I bought a used MCA reissue of _Trespass_ a few weeks back, and
reacquainted myself with this relatively enjoyable album.  The
fi is less than hi, but it's a bit less noisy than the old ABC
pressings.  No gatefold cover either, but what the hell.
Thanks for the kind words about _War Child_ a while back, too.
I picked up a near mint copy last weekend for a couple bucks...
Seems to be a better album than I remember, though I never did
listen to Richard's copy much when it came out.  Even "Bungle In
The Jungle" sounds better than it does on the radio.  A decent
record, and arguably as Prog as anything they recorded besides
_Passion Play_ or _Thick As A Brick_...
Also got my own copy of _TAAB_ finally, primarily for the St. Cleve
Chronicle, but the vinyl's in better than average condition as well.
