I agree. 11 points for a great little track!

I second that!

Oh wow. I love Richie Havens, what a voice!

13/15!

(Not sure whether or not I want to see this live today - you cannot copy this voice)

Oh that is so sad! Looks like this was not expected at all? Sincere condolences top his friends and family. Have met him once, such a lovely guy!

RIP Mr MacPhail, a legendary part of Genesis from beginning to end.

exactly! Don't want to be too petty, but its "Macphail"!

I do not remember any of them celebrating such anniversaries, with the exception of Steve, who is also touring with a karger Lamb portion in his live set.

As for Genesis, there have been rumors about a Lamb Boxset to celebrate the 50th, which I think could happen since Concord now have the rights of their recorded music.

Quote from Zaar

Nice to have but not as exciting as I hoped this might be. Essentially, it's a variation of the "special mix" released as a b-side and on the "Flotsam" collection

I was also hoping for a very different version. "Kiss the bliss" somehow let me think it might be an up-tempo version. Anyway...

This was never my favorite on the album, so 8 points are ok for me. I am also not a fan of those concept albums where specific melodies and harmonies are revisited in different songs and tracks.

Not sure whether or not I like the idea about a Lamb boxset

positive: they do something (finally) and now anniversaries are a category for releasing stuff

negative: will be pricey - and I doubt the content will be breathtaking (but hoping for a new version of the 5.1 mix on Blu.ray maybe?)

Quote from The Hogweed

I have a Best of. That’s enough.

So … I couldn’t care less

same here.- although this complation seems to be a good mix between old and new - and I am interested in the new re-recordings of some tracks.

Quote from Henry Hamilton-Smythe

Hadn't heard this one for 30+ years. After one listen, I give it a nine. I definitely prefer the second half of the song to the first, but it never really catches fire for me.

I also prefer the second part, but I like this track a lot and I wonder why Phil never did longer tracks (besides this one) on his solo albums ...

That has been on YouTube for a while, but of course it's nice to see this being officially released in better quality!

"This is the road" is interesting. And then we got the expected Lunatics in the big room track, this time "Digging in the dirt".

Sometimes I love and sometimes I hate this track. Right now it's worth 7pts for me.

Quote from Nanunami

It's indeed a good album (I am not a huge Phillips fan). Of course, far away from band recordings and therefor not really comparable to other Genesis-related released (with a few exceptions), but it's nice to see how you can put together such an good album with fragments from the past ....

I agree.

I wasn't sure when he announced it. But I have listened to it a couple of times and found it really enjoyable.

Oh, another "Lunatics In The Big Room" track. A bit disappointing for the full moon (like last month) but they hint different stuff is to come. Fingers crossed...

Quote from Christian

A lot of fans anticiated this, so here is Excuse Me (1975 demo)

/ Peter Gabriel releases demo of "Excuse Me" on Bandcamp (genesis-news.com)

I think I have this on a bootleg somewhere. It's look to have it now this way, but I'd prefer some later stuff and alternate versions etc. Also something from the i/o rehearsals would be nice.

I like the first instrumental, One left standing and also I don't want it all.

It was very different, Paul Young being not there and a fresh sound.

It's a nice pop song - simply that - and worth 11 points for me.

Interesting approach to have the drums in so early. But not really my cup of tea!

Not so bad - I like Nad's voice on this one. Worth 11 pts.

Sorry, I’ll pass. Not collecting vinyl anyway and even if I did, I would own the vinyl already.
