    I still can’t get it , whatever it is I thank you for making me think and while I’m at it I cleaned my LPs on the machine and put them in MFSL sleeves. !!


    I actually wonder if you put this question to a band member would they get the answer I doubt it !.

    I’m thinking songs about animals only on these two LPs


    dodos lambs and cuckoos but I’m probably wrong again , mind you Raven is on the lamb

    So it can’t be that answer either !!. I give up

    Is it most songs on side 1 of an album and most on side 2 perhaps - clutching at straws again ( as he goes into the cupboard to pull out vinyls for the 10th time )


    one has 10 and one has 11 for the full LP

    These LPs probably will have edge wear by the time I’m finished pulling them out !!

    Completely stumped that’s me! I’m counting songs up , wondering if it’s instrumentals or absence of them. No I’m definitely not getting any warmer!. Come on your folks put me out of my misery and get the answer !!.

    number of songs on the sides?. I’ve just looked at both my lamb LPs and the first record looks exactly as the second.


    I must say this is a good question mind you they are all good but I cannot see anything on the vinyl LPs themselves, are you referring to UK pressings or American pressings specifically

    Gosh it’s really giving me A mental block this one. If it’s that simple it must be simple enough to miss it completely . I’m even looking at the run out grooves to see if it’s to do with that !!

    Is it the title of the album occurs on the first side only as a Abacab Says Abacab and lamb has a picture on side 2


    mind you I have two pressings of it one with orange label which is a German pressing which says Abacab on both side a and

    No I’m well off the mark but a good question all the same

    I never thought the rescheduled shows would happen and I agree the next step will likely be full cancellation.

    I agree with you, I can’t see them happening now unfortunately. Even if the R Number over here drops to the levels of a month or so ago, in January it’s not going to prompt test events restarting (that’s my guess). I can’t see any concerts of this scale at all until either there is a massive immunity in the population or the population has had 3/4 vaccination. It’s just not going to happen sadly. They won’t take chances on 20,000 people being under one roof, maybe 5,000 in a 20,000 arena but full attendance no chance.

    How are we all thinking about these shows now with the new 6 month of regulations that were announced yesterday, it really puts this into a different perspective. From what I’m reading and watching test events are now postponed until further notice. I don’t think April is looking any good at all now, and I can see The Musical Box been postponed yet again as that’s within the 6 months of extended measures?.

    I guess you’ve got to ask yourself what’s going to happen on arrival at these shows, I think this as a minimum , temperature checks, masks at all times in the venue, Alcoholic drinks may not be on sale as the queues would be horrendous (whatever show I’ve been to in the past there has always been a scrum at the bar). Regarding the virus in general I guess if any earlier concerts are shown to be a source of even the smallest outbreak then this will have to be reconsidered. You can almost guarantee by probability that one or two people in the crowd will have the virus and be contagious and not know about it. if you get the virus at a concert and are not the only one, could litigation against the promoters be a potential outcome?.

    Just had a read on AXS and it says this


    If the event is rescheduled, we'll advise what options are available to you. As a general rule if you are able to attend a rescheduled date your original tickets will remain valid.


    it reads a bit sketchy doesn’t it?, as if they ain’t prepared to say exactly what you can do if you can’t make a show. If they will give you your money back or not. With them mentioning “options” it does seem to leave the door ajar to potentially getting your money back. Maybe AXS will refund if the date clashes with something else which is a lot better than Ticketmaster seem to offer (which is absolutely nothing at all).

    It does bring the question of purchasing tickets and what you are entitled to. We buy a ticket thinking that the show is on a Saturday as we can’t make a Wednesday due to work or kids at school in the morning etc, when they change from a Saturday to Wednesday do ticket agents expect you to be happy with this alteration?. Or do they offer the alternative of refund as you can’t attend?. I doubt that!, they expect people to just alter their plans and go with the new dates.

    regarding the ticket resales I think the best thing would be to contact the agent concerned I bought mine with ticketmaster I note that you got yours at AXS maybe they have a resale site. Not to sure myself, the problem with selling tickets is that the ticket agents themselves are cracking down on profiteering by touts and only release The tickets at the last Possible postage moment. I think it’s going to be difficult to sell any of these tickets as you mention due to Covid and the fear of the public of going indoors. I feel you could wait and see as these shows may well be cancelled yet again and then you would get your money back in full.
    obviously changing dates isn’t ideal for anyone, I don’t know what will happen if they postpone again?, there could be a mutiny from those who feel that the ticket agents are just stalling to keep hold of the cash for as long as possible.

    At the end of the day you do what’s best for yourself with this, if you ain’t happy due to the current pandemic no one would hold it against you for wanting to sell or to get a refund, but I feel a refund is going to be the last thing the promoters wish to do. Whatever you decide I hope it works out.

    If you read the last line of ConChoo007's post, he mentions Covid19. " Also with Covid I actually think its a very dodgy environment to be in! " Very understandable!

    I understand that and read that myself and I do agree Covid is a worry but if there was any remote risk to the fans I’m sure it would be cancelled all together?. but specifically I was referring to the comment before it about the forthcoming gig probably not being any good. I honestly can’t see these shows being anything other than excellent, granted we are all fans at the end of the day with different opinions but I myself feel Genesis have an immensely positive history for State of the Art live shows to maintain, and I’m sure they wouldn’t go for it to fall flat on their faces and get negative reviews, they have a reputation to uphold at the end of the day and if their was any possibility of it being any where near below par I’m sure it would be cancelled altogether?.

    I can’t see it being anything other than value for money and an experience not to be missed,

    Lights, sound and memories for us all!.

    I just dont think the gig will be any good in my opinion with Phil Collins not really on form for past few years.

    With Respect, Why actually buy the tickets in the first place if you thought this?. We all are aware of Phil’s health but I personally didn’t hesitate myself and still wouldn’t!.

    I think personally if you are wishing to sell your tickets you have to possibly do it through the official ticketmaster website?. And then you sell it at what you paid for it which is the done thing I would suggest. If they are going for £800 it is what the so called resale sites charge and is basically scalping in a more legitimate way. I haven’t got any physical tickets myself and don’t expect to get any at all just before the concerts are due to happen.

    If you sell them yourself I would expect to not make anywhere near to what you paid for them, as people will be reluctant to go as you have already mentioned. I think anyone who sells tickets now is looking at a considerable loss on face value due to Covid. Phil Collins sadly has been ill for a while now before these concerts even were mentioned. It was to be expected that he wouldn’t be anywhere near what he was even in 2007, but we are fans and have to realise these facts and appreciate it for what it will be. I don’t myself expect him to be chucking a tambourine in the air and vigorously performing the drum duet prior to Los Endos!! Just isn’t feasible!.

    At Cardiff they could close the roof, I don’t know how much light gets it ( long time since I went to that venue for the Speedway Grand Prix ) but I vaguely remember it was pretty dark with the roof closed!. So they could start well before Mikes Horlicks is due to be on his bedside table!.
