This time last year it was August.

Bizarrely, the release date in the UK seems to have been pushed back to 25th March, acc. to Amazon. I had a look in my local HMV (felt like the old days!) on the 18th, not there, hence me looking at Amazon. Will try HMV again next week.
It was originally announced for the UK as the 25th. I was surprised when I heard that (at least) Germany was getting it a week earlier. And then Burning Shed said they would also have it on the 18th. Yet note it's been released by a non-UK company.

Coincidentally, it was the 30th anniversary of the release of her Eleven Kinds Of Loneliness album just this week (16th).

Already ordered and reserved at my local store.
I thought one of the main aspects of RSD was that you couldn't do that.

Great to see this available again but such a pity that Mark Powell at Esoteric couldn't get his hands on it to give us an expanded edition with a 5.1 surround mix like he did for A Curious Feeling.
Clearly it was available to license. I'm sure Esoteric had a very good reason why they haven't taken the option.

I wonder if the master tapes are lost. Can't think of another reason why no 5.1 mix for this album.
Rutherford's disinterest? Failure of the Banks reissues?

Field Music - Measure. Released (in the UK) the same day as Scratch My Back.

He's allowed to play more than one Genesis song so presumably he chose to exercise that right. I've heard him play CC, Ripples and BOTR before. He always speaks warmly of them and comes across as a fan despite any AP oversights he's made.
My comment was a little tongue-in-cheek, as Elbow covered MS for SMB.

Elbow's Guy Garvey on his BBC 6Music show wishes PG happy birthday and plays both Mercy Street and I Know What I Like.
I wonder why he chose Mercy Street 🙄 And he always said he preferred Carpet Crawlers. Mind you, this is the man who declared himself a "big Genesis fan" who had never heard of Ant.

Hope this counts. Admit also for my own curiosity.
What are the difference s between Bye Bye Johnny and Can Utility and the Coastline's?
BBJ was simply an early version of C-U&TCs.

Seems like just Firth of Fifth.
I always remembered it as being a B-side to a single from 1982/1983 but it seems I am wrong
No, your not wrong. It was the b-side to the That's All 12". The discogs link is to the Fan Club flexi-disc edition which preceded it.

There are actually 3 versions now. Each label has a different track listing.
Really? Do you have the detail/pointer?

'dancing with a moonlit knight' is a fan favourite, but it had never been included in any genesis official compilation or live album so far.
the other tracks from this compilation are more or less predictable...
While I sort of know what you mean, there has been an official live release of Moonlit Knight. On two releases.

All of a sudden! Talking about 90s stuff prompted that, I suppose? I still think Wide Open Space is one of the best songs from that period, it does that thing really good songs can do, of having a real feeling of tension. I always liked Take It Easy Chicken as well. I think they were about to go on tour before touring ceased to be.
I've always liked Little Kix. The Kleptomania set is really good, too. And Paul Draper's solo work is worth checking out. He's been working with The Anchoress, who's also been working with The Manics (and Simple Minds), who's really good. And with Steven Wilson.

I agree that the suggestion of a poll is probably not wise, given the scale of his catalogue. Although I might just be being "selfish" as several of my favourites of his are library albums.

Pity I missed your post. Though no doubt you covered all bases.

I thought it very odd that Wilson is stating that the album gets its retail release on 28 August. That's a Saturday. Amazon (UK) now have it listed and - as expected - have it down as coming out on Friday 27th.
Able to answer my own query. I posted something similar on Wilson's FB page and received the clarification that it is indeed the 27th.

and again ... a hundred different vinyl versions. Is there a list of the different editions somewhere? Looks like these are again exclusive editions for some stores?
Being prepared as we speak...
And yes, store-exclusive editions, as is fairly standard, these days.
