It's got to be Machine Head for me Steve. Fireball is a very close second with just a sheet of Bronco separating it from In Rock though...

I Prefer the Machine Head tracks on Made In Japan.If you ever come across the Rhino reissue of MH mastered by Kevin Grey it's well worth picking up even if you've got the UK first press.

I like these two as a pair but what personally attracts me the most here is the program. Very much represents core music for me currently. I've enjoyed this CD for a couple of years already but why I am beyond ecstatic about this recording currently...?
I am expecting the soon to be released vinyl of this to arrive at my door by the end of this month or early November !!!!!
Life is slowly improving for those of us who have had to endure through this digital smog world for about 3 decades since satan came up with digital. I wish we would have a choice of format for all music.

First spin of the latest Leonard Cohen on vinyl, very, very impressive. Cohen in very fine form.
Nice package too with a CD copy included with the 180gm vinyl.
Some classic Genesis, original pressing.
