Quite a pressing. Single records on 45 RPM have always been kind of a pain...ruins the continuity that I've known for the last 50 years. But besides that, just a fantastic sounding record overall. The original was always a bit muffled sounding...and I have six different pressings and they all lack the dynamics of later Genesis records, but CB and BG did an amazing job bringing as much life out of this record as possible. My first brush with this record was pulled out of the cutout racks at my local Peaches Records store, and it was a single cover, (actually I bought this and Foxtrot the same day as they were both on cutout). Both records were terrible sounding, but I later bought OG copies which were an improvement.
This pressing by Quality Record Pressing is the ultimate pressing. The textured gatefold cover is heavy, but unlike many heavy cardboard covers, the records still slide right in and out easily. The records themselves are typical of records that come from Analogue Productions. Heavy, flat, centered, just perfect. One of the most noticeable things about the sound is the high end like cymbal hits. Unlike some remastered records, they sound natural and don't sizzle or hiss. They sound like cymbals. They've also brought the bass up without it stepping on everything else which is another failing of remastered records. Rutherford uses Moog Taurus pedals in numerous places on NC, and they sound like they should. The separation and (dare I say) soundstage is much wider than on even the OG pressings. There's also more depth to the overall sound. The OG's were rather flat sounding. It's funny when you encounter a record like this that has been really fixed. You never thought it could sound so good. It always sounded (for lack of a better term) quite British to me. Lot's of focus on the mids in lieu of everything else. And at $60+ it better be a marked improvement. It is. -
I have the first charisma UK edition which, unfortunately, is ruined by wear and tear (you would say Good/Good), so it was a nice surprise to hear the original mix again in the best possible quality. Textured cover, very quiet heavy vinyl, dynamics that seem superior even to the Classic Records edition (listen to Salmacis) and you can feel a naturalness never heard before, especially on Seven Stones, where the mellotron is fantastic (as someone else already said). I would say the best edition of this masterpiece so far. How much would you be willing to spend for this? I think you should hurry up and buy it because the price, already high, is rising.

My favorite Atlantic 75 release thus far, as the rawness of the original mix is just perfectly preserved here, with amazing soundstage and clarity. It just adds an overall eerieness to it all.

Excellent press,nothing to complain about, great sound on all tracks, great job.
What a same they didn’t do the same on Selling England By The Pound, these last two Genesis releases are sublime. -
Difficult question but has anybody heard any difference between the numbered copies and those that haven’t been numbered? Are the unnumbered copies pressed at a different plant?

Edited 6 months agoHowdy Genesis fans. If anybody has heard both which would you recommend? The Atlantic 75 or......
https://discogs.mejorespelis.org/release/12333312-Genesis-Nursery-Cryme
When I ask about preference it's purely related to sound only: 3d imaging, clarity, instrument seperation and soundstage.
Thanks in advance. -
Compared to quitex version it sounds like the same to me with a little differences to sound stage but that might just be me but I’d rather pay the retail price of this than go and buy the quitex for an ungodly amount
-
This is the best of the AP Atlantic 75 Genesis titles so far in my opinion. Seven Stones is simply astonishing. Yes it’s expensive (particularly here in the UK) but if you love this album and have the equipment to justify it then it is well worth it.

I preordered this from AS over a month ago and I finally got it today. #1020. Excellent quality with both presentation and functionality. Super quiet pressing with no unwanted noise. My pressing is super flat with no signs of warping unlike my new Santana Abraxas super vinyl. As expected the 45RPM cut of this original mix sounds awesome. Unfortunately this last order to AS took almost three weeks to deliver when it’s usually on my doorstep in a week from ordering. Anyone else had any shipping issues from them?

AP have been doing a great job with these pressings, but this one is the best so far, in my opinion. I know this album extremely well, but the dynamics here take it to another level. That's maybe most noticeable on "Fountain of Salamacis", but it makes a big difference on "Musical Box" and "Hogweed" as well. There's a kind of power to the music that simply doesn't come through on the other pressings I've heard.
Cutting it at 45rpm increases the resolution tremendously. I suspect that some of the complaints about there being more reverb on the vocals, or their being further back, are actually due to that.
