RICHARD MACPHAIL on Selling England By The Pound

Friend of the band and biographer on the album’s significan­ce…

“Many of the fans who love Peter’s era cite it as the best album of all. it certainly is one of the best. it stands on the shoulders of nursery cryme and Foxtrot; by the time they came to write and record the lamb lies down on broadway, things were falling apart, and although it has many moments of staggering brilliance, i have always felt that it was flawed. For me, the two stand-out tracks are Firth of Fifth and the cinema show. selling england is an album that truly stands the test of time and has moments that still send shivers up my spine.”
