About this deal

The following list corresponds to our state of knowledge. Only the titles marked in colour are part of the BBC Broadcasts box set. Matrix / Runout (Disc 5): [Universal logo] 3568648 [Universal Logo] AM84430-01 manufactured by optimal media GmbH Ewing, Jerry (12 January 2023). "Genesis announce five disc BBC box set featuring previously unreleased material". Loudersound . Retrieved 12 January 2023. Billboard Japan Hot Albums: 2023/03/08 公開". Billboard Japan (in Japanese) . Retrieved 8 March 2023. However, they decided - unlike other artists - to cut the content heavily and shorten complete shows as well. Why they did not simply make a round box set with all available recordings and complete radio shows, remains a mystery. We are quite aware that not all of the before mentioned broadcasted concerts are complete shows, but nevertheless they could have released all available content. The fans would have been able to cope with duplications of different songs, especially since they would have been from different concerts and tours anyway. But now there are incomplete shows, in addition these are strangely arranged on the CDs. From the early recordings important parts have been left out and the recording from Wembley 1975 is missing completely except for Watcher Of The Skies. The BBC show from 1998 with Ray Wilson, Anthony Drennan and Nir Z. is only represented with two songs. Vinyl fans are annoyed twice because there is even less material. This

Additional remarks: The excerpts, which the BBC had broadcast as late as June 1980 on the TV programme The Old Grey Whistle Test, were officially released (with video) on the Duke SACD/DVD in 2007:

It's a nice thing that Genesis are finally giving us access to their BBC archive recordings. A box set makes sense in many ways: there are some early treasures included and complete live shows, even from the later years. Many fans will be pleased with this release as well. Matrix / Runout (Disc 4): [Universal logo] 3568647 [Universal Logo] AM84429-01 manufactured by optimal media GmbH Last year, Genesis played their final show at London’s O2 Arena, and while original singer Peter Gabriel didn’t perform, he did attend the show to cheer his former bandmates on.

c) Sounds Of The Seventies - 09 January 1972 (Studio T1, Kensington House, Shepherd's Bush, London) The box set is rounded out with performances from the height of the band’s popularity—Wembley in 1987 and the 1992 edition of Knebworth (along with two songs from 1998 featuring Collins’ replacement Ray Wilson). Here, the sense of the band as a global stadium juggernaut becomes almost inescapable. When the ominous, heavily sequenced drone of “Mama” opens the Wembley portion of the program, there’s no longer a sense of a living, breathing band on the other end of your speakers. Across the first three discs, Genesis used size to create a sublime sense of majesty onstage. Here, the scale of the production simply alienates, and listening to this section often feels like being dwarfed while observing a huge, impersonal machine rotate its blades in place. I would definitely recommend going for the CD version over the vinyl, since you're paying less for over twice as much content, seems like a no-brainer to me unless you're just interested in record collecting. Liner Notes – David Baddiel, Jeremy Clarkson, Peter Gabriel, Richard Macphail, Roger Taylor, Tony Banks, Tony Robinson (7)Here, too, compared to the archive material at hand, there is a somewhat too strong change in the balance between treble and bass in favor of the treble. This makes the sound a bit more transparent, but it also loses warmth. You can do it that way, but with a little more effort it would have been possible to get much more out of it. Turn It On Again (B-side of the US Promo 12" of Turn It On Again, 7 May - on the label it says Drury Lane by mistake).
