Selling England is a beautiful album by a great band. Phil's drumming is brilliant and More Fool Me is one of the best songs with him on lead vocals. Gabriel's storyteller vocal style is excellent, as well as the subtle but tasteful guitar parts by Hackett. Bank's shows that he had definite skill on keyboards/piano at this time, even though his later work with Genesis may have tarnished his reputation a little. The synths are well used here to his credit.
Add this to lyrics that transport you to an England in another time and you get the prog masterpiece that is this album!
