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.
