'''''Selling England by the Pound''''' is the fifth studio album by the [[progressive rock]] band [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]] and was recorded and released in [[1973]] - at the apex of the group's first phase.

'''''Nice.''''' is the third [[North American]] [[Album (music)|album]] by [[J-Pop]] group [[Puffy AmiYumi]], released in [[2003]]. (See [[2003 in music]]). The US release featured a few track changes: "Atarashii Hibi" and "Tomodachi" were replaced with "Urei", "Teen Titans Theme" and "Planet Tokyo", an English rewrite of "Akai Buranko" (Red Swing).

It followed ''[[Foxtrot (album)|Foxtrot]]'' and was the band's commercial peak with Peter Gabriel, hitting # 3 in the UK and it remains a defining 1970's progressive rock album. Songs such as "Firth of Fifth" and "The Cinema Show" are considered classics, and the shorter track "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" became Genesis' first single to receive any sort of chart action, hitting #17 in the UK in [[April]] [[1974]]. Many Genesis fans list this as their favourite of the band's Gabriel-era studio albums. One can hear the beginnings of the group's later penchant for [[arena rock]] in some of the cuts, particularly with the song "The Cinema Show". This was the first Genesis album where Banks used a synthesizer (an [[ARP]] Pro Soloist)—although used throughout the album, it can be heard particularly on the keyboard solos of "Firth of Fifth" and "The Cinema Show."

The cover is an homage to [[John Lennon]] and [[Yoko Ono]]'s "[[bed-in]]" peace protests held in [[1969]].
