Album History
Although not a success upon release in their homeland, Nursery Cryme became an unexpected hit in Italy, reaching number 4 in the LP charts – spurring on Genesis' European success—with the album eventually reaching No.39 in the UK charts for one week in May 1974, and the re-issue reaching No.68 for one week in March 1984.
The album also marked the beginning of a steady, cohesive line-up for Genesis.

Famous quotes containing the words album and/or history:
“What a long strange trip it’s been.”
—Robert Hunter, U.S. rock lyricist. “Truckin’,” on the Grateful Dead album American Beauty (1971)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
