I like to think it's a reference to PG raiding his wife's wardrobe to get her famous red dress to wear with his foxhead. The following line stepping one beyond the show makes this explanation work. ("Well that's my theory what it is and it's mine!")
Also don't forget Genesis's parents warned them against wasting their time on music and not following a proper career.

I went out for a pint the other night at a pub I'd never been to before and saw this.
A stout called Genesis. The picture is logo of Brewers Point brewery . Well I had to try it. I wasn't sure about it so tried it 3 or 4 times so I could make a proper judgement. It's very nice.

Paul Di Anno . Iron Maidens original singer when they were great, before Bruce Dickinson came along and ruined them . I saw them a couple of times back then and they raw, exiting and brilliant. Unfortunately Di Anno had problems and was sacked but by all accounts he was never bitter. I saw Maiden at at festival after he left and they were terrible. ( It s a mystery to me why they became so big) . I never saw him again but was quite exited as I was planning to see him in a couple of weeks in Wolverhampton UK. Suddenly he's gone. A great shame.

Last gig the wonderful IO.Earth and the Hayley Griffiths ( ex Karnataka) band at The Robin , Wolverhampton. IO Earth s singer is on a maternity break so Hayley sang for them as well her own band later. IO Earth are tremendous and musicianship across both bands fantastic. Such a shame there was only around 60 people there. Although she has a great voice I just can't get get enthusiastic about Hayley's own stuff.

Tony says that Peter is involved in the project . With that being the case let's not hold our breath for a release soon. 60th Anniversary would be ambitious. I hope we all live long enough for it.

I hope that link works!
Don't think Ive ever heard him so cheerful. Maybe because he was being interviewed by some that he was a fan of rather the other way round. Not sure if Aggers has actually heard of him previously. I think TB liked that.

I’m a member of the Labour Party and generally left of centre. It seems to me that, unfortunately, the critical mass of the UK vote sits slightly right of the centre (I know these are clumsy labels). So the Labour Party has to move to that ground to have any hope of overcoming a bias against them and the atrocious scaremongering of a still powerful media. There is simply no point trumpeting from opposition benches year after year. Keir had to take that ground more than ever - the party he inherited was unelectable on these terms and most commentators thought it would take two terms to get them back on track and somehow he has done that in one. He did that by sheer hard, professional work and beating the right wing media by not having much to say about anything and letting the Tories beat themselves.
Obviously we won by so much because of the system we have and because the Tories were hideously bad for so long and Reform them split their vote. But win he did and I’m encouraged by the start they have made. It’s so refreshing not to watch the news and listen to the embarrassing lies and sheer stupid incompetence we’ve had for the last 14 years as our leaders battled each other and played out their fantasies at the expense of good governance and the livelihoods of ordinary, hardworking people. Whatever else, if this Government can begin to rebuild trust, demonstrate integrity and competence and rekindle some spirit of public service and unity, we must surely all be better off.
The Tories will eventually have to move to the same sort of ground and any detours to the right or what they imagine to be ‘Reform’ territory will just mean more years in opposition. They are usually quite hilarious in arranging leadership elections and almost always seem to end up with someone they didn’t expect or want, so still lots to entertain.
But at least for now, in a very uncertain world, I feel we might have tickets on a slow, slightly dull but mainly on-time railway rather than careering and lurching around on a runaway train.
Yes I agree with you too. I always thought that it was pointless having JC as a leader even though I agreed with most of his policies , especially 2017, however I always knew he would lose and his leadership would mean nothing other than having to put up with Tories. I think he lost the plot by 2019.. He was a terrible leader. That was one of reasons I helped campaign, didn't want to sit back and moan about how how bad he was. Yes , you have to compromise to get in and have any effect but Starmer now seems to me be just right of centre and I couldn't bring myself to vote for them. If I had any respect for my MP I might have and would probably voted have for them tactically if I thought it would help get the Tories out but I was pretty sure the seat was safe. I ended up voting with my heart.

Just about woken back up after my election all-nighter.
It's a huge relief to finally see an end to this succession of appalling tory governments. It's a stain on the UK's political culture and an embarrassment that lowlifes like Johnson, Dorries and Braverman, among others, could attain high office. Although Braverman and several other of the worst specimens unfortunately held their seats.
But it was a joy to see that fossilised stick of edwardian halitosis Rees Mogg shovelled up and dumped, along with Andrea "The Finger" Jenkyns, primitive thug Jonathan Gullis and many others - including all of Grant Shapps's various multiple identities - and of course, as mentioned, Liz "Beaten By A Lettuce" Truss.
What an ungracious horrible twerp 'Pork Markets' Truss is, refusing to make the usual concession speech and petulantly stomping off, thus shunning the tradition of thanking her campaigners, supporters and constituents. But there's the measure of her. She can now go back to the US to continue promoting her doolally book and batshit theories about how she was brought down by "the deep state" and that well-known cabal of far left activists, the, er... ahem... banking industry.
All that said, I can't get over-excited about the Starmer Labour government. We can only hope there'll be positive changes. Re the SNP, like many I've become disenchanted with them but part of me was still sorry to see them fall. They now have to face whatever awaits them in the 2026 SP election. As with the tories, extended time in power brings issues that can torpedo a party. They have done good things and as a resident in Scotland I can attest that life has largely felt better compared to my time in England, and I hope that if they equally fail in 26 that the presumed subsequent Scottish Labour government doesn't start to undo the positives.
So I'm a couple of weeks behind this chat but I couldn't agree with you more. You said it all for me. For only the second time in my life I didn't vote Labour. 2005 I couldn't bring myself to vote for them mainly because of Iraq and partly because Blair just seemed so Tory although some good was done. Now Starmer has gone back on the pledges he made that I supported him on.
I just couldn't vote for them and my MP, Taiwo Owatemi seems like a lapdog career politician who was quite happy to work for the Tories in her early "career". She seems like the sort who sees being in politics as a career rather than a cause. I voted and campaigned for her in the previous two elections as she turned a rock solid Labour down to a majority of a few hundred votes however JC was in charge at the time or at least trying to be , failing to control the chaos around him! ( I knew it hopeless cause but I couldn't just sit back and do nothing other than moan) . If I'd thought that there would be any doubt on her winning I guess I would have voted tactically to get the Tories out . As it was I voted Green. I really think it's time we had PR where could vote for who we wanted knowing the vote would count. Occasionally have my doubts about democracy though. Maybe we could get a PR elected upper house one day. I'm hoping some good
will be done

The blue Charisma label first appeared in the UK in 1979 and was used for nearly all Charisma releases where paper labels were used. As time strolled into the 1980s Charisma embarked on a significant reissue program and so naturally the blue labels are associated with reissues but it was really just the Charisma label design from 1979 to around 1986 when the label fell into disuse.
Bear in mind that Virgin took over the manufacture and distribution of Charisma in around 1983, thus securing pretty well all Genesis related acts to go with their star signing, Phil Collins.
Thanks for that.

I have no idea where to put this. I've been trying to find out what the blue Charisma label is or signifies I know it's generally for reissues but not all reissues are.on it. When did it first appear? Does anyone know?

I've been to three since my last post here.
1. The wonderful Mostly Autumn who we see around 3 times a year recently. They absolutely fantastic live and I really recommend to anyone to fork out £20 to go and see them if you haven't already.
2 and 3
A couple of small festivals. The Sonic Rock Solstice and The Tannerfest. Between the two there were over 30 bands and I only knew of 4 , Hawklords, Trance Dimensionals, Here and Now and Jah Wobble and although I know of Jah Wobble I had absolutely no idea of any of his stuff. I would say that all the bands were great , really good musicianship , thoroughly enjoyable. It goes to show what unrecognised talent there is a out there. Such a shame. As for Jah Wobble . He was astonishingly good. One of the greatest surprises I have ever had seeing bands. It wasn't reggae it wasn't space rock and I wouldn't say pub rock either . Quite original . Brilliant.

Hunter Biden guilty, and it still isn't good enough for Republicans.
These are the same people who had no issue with the 'justice' system when the Trump stacked Supreme Court gutted Roe vs Wade.
They are certifiably crazy. To think these people vote and will have ean impact on the whole world .

I thought Dodo was not so good on TSL
Phil's vocal fill ins with his OWWS are quite annoying . Best track on Abadan BTW

I have to say this. Just watched Inferno, Jon Pertwee's Doctor Who. He spent time in a lock up/ garage where he was trying to fix the Tardis. Anyway he rigged up a remote device where all you had to do was press it and the doors to the garage would just open by themselves. All the other characters were amazed, it was really impressive stuff.

If you are being sarcastic, fair enough, but I responded to what seemed a genuine question from you. The only reason I did was because I happened to be playing the CD in the car, and heard the line in the song. I don't know the song that well yet for it to come instantly to mind.
NO . I wasn't being sarcastic..it was a genuine question and I was genuinely taken aback that I'd never noticed that at over 45 years of having that album. Sorry if it came over that way. I was just meaning to be light-hearted about it.😔
