3 stars Itīs very good to find those obscure tracks that were not released on albums by those artists you like. It can be filler stuff (and, in this case, it is), but itīs a joy to hear something from the Gabriel-era Genesis that I havenīt heard of after all these years. Ok, they were available in Brazil since Archive 1967-1975 was released in my country. Which didnīt mean that much since this 4 CD box set was way to expensive to buy for years. So, to the song: itīs a simple, acoustic track, with Gabriel and Collins singing together the funny lyrics. Some nice flute and 12 string guitars. Not par with their material before (Nursery Cryme), nor with their next (Foxtrot). Still a very good track for a b side. An interesting change of pace, between such elaborated material.

Not really essential, but good enough. Specially for early Genesis fanatics like me. 3 stars.
