Genesis ‘The Silent Sun’ / ‘That’s Me’

US Parrot 45-PAR-3018

Black label stock issue

Genesis first single, US release.

Promo issues (orange labels) of this one of which there are three slight variations (which I have) are easier to find, and fetch around $250.

This is extremely rare and sought after stock issue. Less than a dozen are known to exist. Last recorded sale was around $5K. The Discogs ratio people throw around is 0.06 but that’s high mostly for the fact that few in the world would ‘want’ this thing on Discogs given the value.

Yes.

After 30 years of chasing this one I am super pleased to say I am now finally one of the few in the world in the owners club.

Played each side once to confirm the NM vinyl play grade. Now to get it mounted in a display with museum UV glass and show it off!

BIG day in my collecting history.

Genesis ‘Where The Sour Turns To Sweet’

1969 New Zealand Decca DEC.482

7” single

Genesis third debut single.

The song was a very limited issue single in UK. Oddly, (maybe due to the success of the similarly odd Australian release location of their preceding second single) some were issued in New Zealand (this one) and are extremely scarce. Not much to look at but SUPER rare.

(@ButchVMG with only 5 haves to 88 wants I believe that’s a ‘Discogs Demand Ratio’ of 0.056 😎 )

Been after this one for some time and snatched it the moment it showed up at a below median price. It hurt, but done with that one! Top shelf for sure.
