I've always liked Genesis when I heard them, but I never bought any. I was in a GW today and found these albums, all in fabulous shape with heavy plastic jacket protectors on the albums.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Genesis with Peter Gabriel (Decca - made in Germany
The Story of Genesis (Nippon Phonogram - with Japanese obi)
Genesis (yellow cover produced by Hugh Padgham)
ABACAB
Selling England by the Pound
Foxtrot
Wind and Wuthering

Also, in the same excellent condition:

Al Di Meola Project Soaring Through A Dream
Al Di Meola Land of the Midnight Sun (Made in Holland)
Jean-Luc Ponty Imaginary Voyage
Jean-Luc Ponty Fables
Steve Winwood Back In The Highlife (Island-Made in Germany)
Steve Winwood Arc of a Diver (Island-Made in Germany)
CS&N Daylight Again (Made in Germany)
Gentle Giant Free Hand
Bruce Hornsby & The Range The Way It Is (Made in Germany)
Dixie Dregs What If
The Dregs Industry Standard
Mahavishnu Orchestra Birds of Fire (Made in Holland)
Shadow Fax Watercourse Way (1985 re-issue)
Eric Johnson Tones (Made in Germany)
Michael Hedges Aerial Boundaries
Cactus World News (Made in Germany)
Little Feat Neon Park (Made in Germany)
Little Feat As Time Goes By (Made in France)
REM Lifes Rich Pageant (Made in Holland)

And I left lots of Toto, Asia, and others. Even at $0.99, I got enough. I wish I could have met the donor.

Though not stated in the OP, I assume these are LPs. That's a lot of imported vinyl for a Goodwill - any Goodwill - store. I, for one, would be very interested in hearing that Dutch-issue Birds Of Fire by Mahavishnu Orchestra. I have a small pile of Dutch-issue vinyl LPs, and every darned one of them has excellent sound quality, the standouts being Springsteen's Darkeness On The Edge Of Town and Neil Young's Zuma.

I wish you weren't so far away! Birds of Fire was the 2nd LP I played, I listened to the Shadowfax album 1st. I went back and picked up a couple more LP's - Brand X "Unorthodox Behavior", Marillion "Script for a Jester's Tear & Misplaced Childhood", and Genesis Live from 1973. The guy liked fusion and prog rock, and so do I! I live in an Air Force town, and I'm guessing he was posted to England or Germany.

If you don't have the live Genesis double album "Seconds Out" you are missing out. In paticular, the toons "Suppers Ready" and "Dance On A Volcano". So powerfull they will stun you. Get it today. You may never listen to the rest again.

That's super! I was a big genesis fan back in high school. Lot of good stuff you got there... maybe some former military person's collection from when stationed in Germany or something.

Nice Haul and a good way to have some of the best of Genesis with Peter Gabriel.
And the other prog rock stuff you got was cool too.
