Ok I was just wondering, because I have the orginal extended version, and it seems to be exactly the same, that is why if there is another one....I want it Do you have this version??

I do think, however, that there would be no point in creating a remaster that sounds exactly like the original.

I hope you did not buy the boxset if you do not like the stereo mixes and if you are not interested in the 5.1 mixes.

I bought the boxes for a couple of reasons.

1. Because It is Genesis
2. I collect Genesis material
3. The stereo AND surround versions sound superior to previous versions.
4 The DTS and 5.1 mixes of the new boxes sounds amazing.

On the other hand, I like the stereo mixes from the 83-98 box set as much as the other formats because these albums were NEVER remastered. So all in all, if your a HUGE Genesis fan, there is a reason to own it.
