A specific stage of Genesis

Abacab This album belongs to Genesis' 1981 catalog and features nine tracks spread across two sides. Side A opens with the title track and continues with "No Reply at All," "Me and Sarah Jane," and "Keep It Dark." Side B includes the sequence "Dodo / Lurker," "Who Dunnit?," "Man on the Corner," "Like It or Not," and "Another Record." The LP's track order offers a mix of straightforward titles and longer pieces; the liner notes retain the printed titles exactly and do not include tracks from later compilations.

The official Genesis store characterizes the 1981 album as a stylistic shift towards a more concise production focused on songs with greater radio appeal. It also notes that "No Reply at All," "Abacab," and "Man on the Corner" all reached the US Top 40; the first of these featured the horn section of Earth, Wind & Fire. This context helps to situate the album within the band's discography, distinguishing it from a modern reissue. The LP listed here is a Charisma Records edition and is being sold used.

The combination of "Abacab" with "Me and Sarah Jane" and "Dodo / Lurker" showcases the breadth of the sequence, while "Who Dunnit?" and "Another Record" complete the second side's lineup. The item retains the original long-playing record format; the photographs correspond to the copy being advertised. It weighs 190g and measures 31 × 31 × 1 cm. No proof of playing is claimed, nor is any playback result guaranteed. Please refer to the images before purchasing to review the credits and external condition.
