For the casual fan only.

this one is probably going to move genisis very near doors territory......more best of's/greatest hits than regular albums......at least as far as the phil collins led genisis is concerned.

For God’s sake…they didn’t even release a best-of until 1999!

That was 30 years into their career.

Since then there’s been exactly three compilations and this would make four.

How does the equal their studio output?????????

You’ll justify your tired arguments somehow.

I would be more into this if these were 2020-21 remasters. But i have all the 2007's as does Pete. I'm good.


Where they (Genesis) are making a HUGE mistake is not opening the live vaults. I know there's a ton of stuff, at least from 1980 onward.But then again, even on 3-Sides, the 4th side is live stuff from the Wuthering or Tail tours. So, I know it's out there. Heck, I would like live discs from the Mama and Invisible tours.

well, fessing up, i spoke before i typed somehow i thought they had more comps than they do, so i used wilipedia (not the best, i know) to try to see whether iwas out of line or not. the results are what follows:

by my count they (the phil collins band) have

8 1/4 studio album

4 3/4 live albums

equaling 13 total albums (live/studio) i did not count EP's.

5 live comps

4 2/3 box sets

4 comps (with this new one)

which would be 13 total band (with phil collins) albums live/studio.....vs. 13 2/3 comp total band (with phil collins) comps.....making my original statement a correct one, albeit by 2/3 of an album.

BUT (notice the big BUT)

that is based totally on my interpretation of which genesis is which.

considering your interpretations of bands and mine tend to differ (we needn't go there) i do not know which genesis is which in your eyes. so your version of genesis with phil collins might be different than mine, and do we seem to have a tendency to disagree on such things.

so..........am i close?

Being that it's chock full of the awful 2007 remixes, this is a moot convo anyway.

The only 2007 mix is "The Carpet Crawlers". Of course, that's assuming the notations are correct.
I am interested in these:



Again, assuming the notes are correct and these ARE new mixes.
