Well, not sure if you can describe a portrait cover like that. Of course they are similar (close-up, no hair etc), but I assume you would find plenty of those covers in the music world.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to buy this CD in the U.S.? So far I'm finding limited availability and higher prices than I want to pay. If not, it looks like I'm going to have to wait a while.
This is the inside out US stone

GENESIS - Lilywhite Lilith
Year: 1974
Album: The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Working title: The Light
Credits: Banks, Collins, Gabriel, Hackett, Rutherford
Lyrics: Yes
Length: 2:40
Musicians: Phil Collins, Tony Banks, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, Mike Rutherford
Played Live: 1974, 1975, 1977

Notes: This song is the opening track of the second disc on both the vinyl and CD versions of the album. Lilywhite Lilith is a blind woman with a glowing pale-white face who asks Rael to lead her out of the Chamber Of 32 Doors (the track before). She in turn then leads Rael through a dark tunnel into the Waiting Room (the following track). The figure of Lilith comes from Sumerian mythology and has been used many times in art (e.g. in Goethe's Faust). The song was developed several years before its release and was even played live under the title The Light in 1970. [The same applies to Anyway, which can be found as a kind of early version or demo on the Jackson Tapes under the title Frustration]. But that's not supposed to be the topic here. And of course, as always, everyone from the "old hands" to the new member is invited to give their opinion on this song - even if it is admittedly often difficult to view Lamb songs out of their overall context.. -
Really glad they added the rest of the Full Stretch tracks all at once. It would have been ok but not ideal to have it be one track at a time for four months; now we can hopefully get another project going for the Club releases.
As for Firebird: I'm more than ok if we are getting all those "Before The Flood"-era demos. Am I right in thinking, based on the Recording Compendium, that this track features Ant Phillips on the piano?
See our news item linked above. We known Ant and Phil were part of the session but not 100% sure also on this particular track. We are investigating.

I have followed Ray Wilson's career ever since the CUT album and have enjoyed most of it.
His weaker albums are probably The Next Best Thing and Makes Me Think Of Home and his strongest are SHE and The Weight Of Man.
Anybody who wants to explore his music may check out those songs as a start
Change
American Beauty
Taking Time
I, Like You
Song For A Friend
Razorlite
Beach
Ought To Be Resting
Wait For Better Days
Makes Me Think Of Home
Show Me The Way
Alone
This is of course a quite personal list, but this may help.
Albumwise, I recommend SHE and Song For A Friend. Both albums are very different and show quite nicely his spectrum.
If I had to rank his albums, this would be it
1) SHE
2) The Weight Of Man
3) Song For A Friend
4) Unfulfillment
5) Change
6) Millionairhead (Cut)
7) Propaganda Man
8. Chasing Rainbows
9) Makes Me Think Of Home
10) The Next Best Thing

Spectral Mornings, by a lot, then Acolyte and Darktown.

Mario also interviewed him in 2011, that's where the photo we have used comes from. So he is a reliable source for this.

No surprises as to what's been added to "catch up". I was hoping for another of the early demos, but not to be. For now.
It surpriuses me they have put out ALL remaining three Full Stretch tracks at once ...

Another date was added for Norwalk, CT on 13 June
