It made #22 in the UK and #138 in the USA in 1979. My memory of this album is that people who were a bit resistant to Genesis’s recent ‘commercial’ direction, felt it was the keeper of the proggy, pastoral Genesis flame. This was his third solo album but I recall its release in May distinctly because I was sitting my A levels soon after and because Steve played the Reading Festival and then toured the album in October, playing Newcastle City Hall in my first term at college on 26th October. I didn’t go, because there were so many gigs and I couldn’t afford them all, but I knew plenty who did. Afterwards the fact he wore long, riding-style boots was at the forefront of everyone’s minds! He finished with ‘I Know What I Like’ and played two other Genesis songs ‘Blood On The Rooftops’ and ‘Horizons.’ The next three albums charted higher but I think this one was the most highly regarded and in fact I saw Steve play the album in the first half of a show in Edinburgh five or so years ago.
EU Countries: You've heard of Brexit haven't you? If you haven't, I admire your ability to ignore the real world. It means if you live in the EU, you will have to pay VAT on your order to get it delivered. Please don't waste all of our time by ordering if you aren't prepared to pay it and don't send me indignant emails about it - I can't help it, I hate it more than you, believe me and I have told you!! Right?
