Genesis – Abacab
With Abacab, Genesis moved decisively into the 1980s, combining art-rock precision with leaner songwriting, electronic textures and the powerful production associated with Hugh Padgham. The title track, No Reply at All, Keep It Dark and Man on the Corner capture a band reshaping its sound without losing its musical identity.
This 1981 Scandinavian Vertigo edition carries catalogue number 6302 162. It is a clean period pressing suited both to Genesis collectors and listeners exploring the band's transition from progressive rock toward modern pop rock.
This copy presents beautifully. The vinyl is graded Near Mint, with very little evidence of previous handling. The outer sleeve is graded Very Good Plus and shows only light signs of careful previous use. The original inner sleeve is also graded Very Good Plus.
