Genesis
(Charisma GEN 1, 33rpm mono/stereo)( UK EP PS)
This is one of the tracks recorded on the 1982 Genesis
3x3 EP which reached No.10 in the UK. The idea for the song came from a line
from "Dancing in A Moonlight Knight" in the Genesis album Selling England by the Pound, where
Peter Gabriel had sung about a news-seller: "Paper late!, cried a voice in the crowd". The horn section in this recording is performed by
Earth, Wind and Fire. It was
released as a single in the US
after it was released on Genesis' Three
Sides Live album, and reached No.32.
* "Paperlate", "You Might Recall"
and "Me and Virgil" are the tracks on the Genesis 3x3 EP which had been left off the Abacab album, as it was felt they
didn't fit. It reached No.10
in the UK. The sleeve of it was designed to
resemble The Beatles Twist and Shout
EP.
