Very pleased about this, as I have the Genesis issues. I wish they would do one for Phil. He has enough solo work to justify it.

I've seen a few of these sorts of Genesis magazine specials and always find them overpriced and on balance not worth it. I wouldn't buy one now unless it had some very specific aspect that lured me.

There are two, and I found them very enjoyable. They cover all eras, do extensive reviews of each album, summarise the solo careers & have a lot of interview.

I bought it, wish I had not. It seems to consist of old interviews regurgitated and 're-evaluations' of LPs. To call it the "The Ultimate Music Guide" is a bit rich. It was clearly written before the I/O tour as it makes no mention of any part of the tour. Plenty of mistakes as well, the best one being the howler on page 41, a quote credited to 'Joey' Marotta! Save your money, wish I had, put the money I paid for this towards .The Rhythm Has My Soul: The Stories Behind The Songs,But that's just my opinion.

Sorry to hear that. Your unfortunate experience sums up why I tend to avoid these 'specials' now, as I said earlier.
In your pic, on the left above and below the pull-quote, it does that irritating dumb 'from/to' thing that crops up in lazy journalism - "from Kate Bush's The Dreaming to Adam & the Ants' Kings of the Wild Frontier." What does that even mean? What's between those two on this stupid imaginary spectrum?
The aforementioned quote is of course from
Quote'Joey' Marotta!

Is there a review of i/o? These guides generally don't do tour reviews. But I'm used to the format, and I'm less concerned about regurgitation given that I may not have previously read at least some of it.
