A pair of Albums by Genesis featuring art by Paul Whitehead.
In 1971 Genesis was a much different band then they were when they had all their hits in the 1980s. They were a progressive rock band then sort of a Victorian/gothic art rock band.
The cover art on this was inspired by the first track "The Musical Box". In that Miss Cynthia Smythe did not care for young Henry's amorous advances and beheads him with a croquet mallet. Seems to make the Beatles with their baby dolls butcher cover seem a bit tame.
Inside are the lyrics along with band information.
This is an English import on the famous Charisma label.

I was a big fan of Peter Gabriel - A Lamb Lies Down on Broadway was a favorite album in my teens. Genesis post his singing lost a lot.
This is a great album!! I've always loved Peter Gabriel. I know that when he was with Genesis, it was not uncommon for him to come out on stage dressed as a "Daisy" or many other different characters. He's one of a kind for sure.
Thank you very much racer4four. I am a big Gabriel fan too. I did like Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering though.
Thank you very much Scott. I recall the flower costume. He had the old man costume for the Musical Box which was the ghost of young Henry.
Thank you
