...And Then There Were Three... (2007 Remaster) - Genesis

"And Then There Were Three" was a Genesis album that I never owned in any format before the 2007 box set came out, but I did know some of the material. Most of it not by title though - it was one of those "Oh yeah, I've heard that" albums when I put it on. I do have a huge connection to this though.

Follow You Follow Me. That was Genesis' first US hit song up until this point, and it was the "first dance" song at my wedding. My wife chose that. I was indifferent - I knew the song, but if she wanted it, I had no replacement ready, so we went with it, prompting a few "You can't dance to that!" remarks from our attendees. :)

Anyway, it's a good album, and one that shows the genesis (har-har) of the latter sound, something that is bulked up over the next two releases (Duke, Abacab). On the whole, not one of my favorite albums, but it's not exactly awful, either. :)

The 2007 remaster series has two discs. The second has a DVD Audio 5.1 mix of the album, plus new interviews, videos, live footage, etc. I got this version of the CD in the 1976-1982 Genesis Box Set. You can order that here, but the cover art here links to the individual 2007 remaster version of this album, as it's cheaper to buy them individually, but you don't get the bonus discs in the box set.
