Anthony Phillips - Recording Compendium

Official tracks, Demos, Outtakes & more



Introduction


As a founding member of Genesis, Anthony Phillips is still overshadowed by his popular ex-colleagues, although he was an indispensable motivator and mainly responsible for the continuity of the band during the first three years. Besides the first two Genesis albums From Genesis To Revelation, Trespass and numerous demo recordings, there were already beginnings of solo activities in the 60s. And finally he was the first of the Genesis family to establish a home studio for his own recordings. This offered him early on to document music pieces independently of expensive studios, of which he made extensive use all these years. Phillips used his release concepts of the Private Parts & Pieces albums, later Archive Collections and the Missing Links series to compile recordings from different periods. In addition, there were always bonus tracks and bonus discs from various re-release phases, compilation contributions and session work with other artists, which makes it almost impossible to keep track of the large number of releases.

With this chronologically structured compendium, we attempt to reassign the many recordings from over five decades to the original periods of origin. With regard to Anthony Phillip's second mainstay, the commissioned works for music publishers for TV & film productions, we limit ourselves in the main sections to the commercially published works, as the total of more than 1000 listed works would go beyond the scope of this compendium. If you would like to browse through these "Library Pieces", you can do so on this extra page.

Also, Ant was involved in a couple of songs between 2010 and 2013, which had vocals and featured Lettie Maclean and Chris White. You can also find an overview / review about those tracks in a separate Library Songs article here.

A brief overview of Anthony Phillip's main albums, the recording periods covered and the latest remaster status can be found at the bottom of the page.

Structure


As a rule, the tracks - as far as known - are listed in chronological order of creation (not release date!). The parties usually end after the creative phases of the respective main albums and start from the phase in which new material was worked on.
"Basic mixes" or "work in progress mixes" of album tracks, even if released or created in later years, are listed before the final (album) versions.
Due to the sometimes very dense sequence of releases and temporal overlaps of different projects, this structure cannot always be applied consistently. Furthermore, we understand all parties as "living documents" that can be further developed at any time.


Clarification of terms and formattings used


(addition in round brackets and bold font) = officially published title addition.
If certain tracks had working titles or were published with different titles, these are also added in round brackets ().
"Basic mixes" or "work in progress mixes" of album tracks, even if released or created in later years, are listed before the final (album) versions.
Due to the sometimes very dense sequence of releases and temporal overlaps of different projects, this structure cannot always be applied consistently. Furthermore, we understand all parties as "living documents" that can be further developed at any time.

[Addition in square brackets and normal font] = unofficially used title addition - serve to distinguish in this list.
If certain works were remixed or remixed for the first time in later years, this is mentioned in square brackets [] after the titles. If the exact date of the mix is not known, we have indicated the year of publication.

Likewise, different versions of tracks are indicated in square brackets [] if no official designation is known.

For the cover illustrations, we limit ourselves to the first releases - for tracks on individual CDs in box sets, we take the box set cover.

To differentiate, all versions of individual tracks have been listed with supplementary name additions. The explanatory meanings for these are:

[demo] = song or version of a track that was recorded in the embryo stage.
[basic track] = first recording phase of a track without subsequent overdubs.
[original version] = another version/recording of a track that was professionally recorded prior to its album release
[original mix] = slightly different mix of the album track that was already released before the album release.
[alternate mix] = slightly different mix of a track
[instrumental] = track without vocals, but otherwise the same as the album version
[instrumental mix] = track without vocals, mixed differently from the original version
[full length version] = track in a longer version than the album version
[edit] = shortened version of the album version in the same mix
[remix] = remixed/edited version
