Description
A breathtaking, investment-grade archive time capsule: a guaranteed factory-sealed original 1977 US first pressing of Genesis’s definitive double live masterpiece, Seconds Out. Released on the Atlantic Records label (Catalog # SD 2-9002), this massive live compilation has remained entirely unplayed and sealed inside its original shrink wrap for nearly 50 years.
Seconds Out is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest live rock albums of all time, documenting the band's theatrical transition following Peter Gabriel's departure. Recorded primarily in Paris during the 1977 Wind & Wuthering tour (with one track from the 1976 A Trick of the Tail tour), the album showcases Phil Collins stepping confidently into the lead vocalist role while delivering thunderous dual-drum performances alongside touring powerhouses Chester Thompson and Bill Bruford.
Crucially, this stands as the absolute final Genesis album to feature legendary guitarist Steve Hackett, making it a monumental piece of rock history. The tracklist spans incredible, definitive live versions of progressive masterpieces like "Cinema Show," "Firth of Fifth," "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway," and the epic, 24-minute fan favorite, "Supper's Ready." This original analog master offers a deep, punchy soundstage that modern digital reissues struggle to replicate.
Crucially, this copy is completely pristine with NO cutout holes, NO corner saw-cuts, and NO warehouse notches. It is a rare, store-bought retail survivor. Authentic, sealed 1970s first pressings of this double album are exceptionally scarce today, making this a premier addition for serious Genesis completists, progressive rock collectors, and vinyl audiophiles.
