ALL MUSIC GUIDE: Anthony Phillips was one of the founding members of
Genesis, having attended the Charterhouse School in Surrey with Peter
Gabriel, Tony Banks, and Michael Rutherford...By the time the group
cut its second album, Trespass, however, Phillips had receded into the
background, propelled by a crippling onset of stage-fright that forced
him out of the line-up following the album's release. His influence,
ironically, was felt very strongly on their subsequent breakthrough
third album, Nursery Cryme, the title track of which (the band's first
number to attract a wide audience in progressive rock circles), for
its introduction and opening minute, used material that Phillips had
written and recorded (as a demo) as early as 1969...
AMAZON DOT FAN REVIEW OF CD: Anthony Phillips is one of the world's
masters on the twelve string guitar. He may have experimented with
numerous other instruments over the years, when it comes down to just
him and the guitar, he is at his peak. Just as he is when he has the
least possible production. "Private Parts & Pieces I", that rough
collection of half-faded demo-tapes, is still a favorite Ant-record of
mine, as is no. V, as is this one. Stripped down, cut back and live.
Despite his famous stage fright (for which he left Genesis), Phillips'
music gains a huge benefit from the spontaneity playing live forces
onto a musician, as it does on "The Living Room Concert". From the
first noticably nervous tones of "Reaper", Phillips gains himself a
confidence while playing, showing that he may not have a very powerful
voice, but that he sings songs like "Which Way The Wind Blows" and
"Sistine" with more understanding and sense of measure, and therefore
better, than "a certain mister P. Collins", as Ant refers to the
original singer of the first hereforementioned track. Beautiful pieces
like "Conversation Piece" and the last track on the album, finish the
record and fortify it, probably much against Phillips' will, as one of
his freshest and therefore better releases.
CONDITION NOTE: Both Lyric book and CD have been around the block a
bit (as they say) but are still in pretty good shape and the CD plays
fine despite some markings on the playing surface.
