BBC Broadcasts

Product Information

Why the LP set was shortened is unclear. Presumably they didn't want to make the set too expensive and decided to create a best-of of the 5CD set. Notes: Despite the claims that Genesis had already released the material, from their Wembley 1987 performance. This audio captures an entirely different night, than those used for the official video / DVD. The box set is naturally as with most Genesis products, in complete and missing songs from the performances. The booklet is a bit amateurish which is a real shame. The evolution of Genesis is unique, their sound developed and progressed throughout their career and with multiple line-up alterations in the early years, the classic line-up of Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford took shape in 1976.

Here, too, compared to the archive material at hand, there is a somewhat too strong change in the balance between treble and bass in favor of the treble. This makes the sound a bit more transparent, but it also loses warmth. You can do it that way, but with a little more effort it would have been possible to get much more out of it.

Genesis played the last European concerts of their Invisible Touch Tour on four consecutive nights at the sold-out Wembley Stadium in London (1-4 July 1987). The last concert was broadcast live on BBC radio. Excerpts of these concerts first appeared officially in 1988 on the VHS video cassette Invisible Touch Tour, then again in 2003 on the DVD Live at Wembley Stadium. While it was known that all four concerts had been recorded in sound and vision, it was unclear until now which excerpts from which of the four concerts were used for the video and DVD. The In The Cage medley is missing from both editions. Another one from the Genesis/BBC live archives in which we pose a question that’s been bubbling around a while now: Is there a definitive Genesis live album? and indeed, have Genesis been done justice in their live releases? There have been plenty through the years. Rounded out by material from the NEC in 1998 and Paris Theatre and Night Ride sessions from the early 70s, as well as the much sought-after encore version of “Watcher Of The Skies” at Wembley Empire Pool in 1975, Genesis BBC Broadcasts is a veritable treasure trove. The BBC original has a strong overemphasis of the mids between 200 Hz and 1 kHz. To compensate for this at least somewhat, there was an additional boost at 5 kHz. As a result, the bass range sounds very flat and the vocals like out of the can. But as if that wasn't bad enough, the mid-range has been boosted again by 1.5 kHz, although a broadband attenuation would have been the best choice here.Largely identical to the BBC version, but here they have removed the "dirt" below 60 Hz, but not the mains hum. By the way, Harold the Barrel is the alternative mix of this song, first broadcast in 2007. CD edition featuring performances ranging from their 1970 lineup of Banks/Gabriel/Mayhew/Phillips/Rutherford to the 1998 tour with Ray Wilson as vocalist.

If all the sessions and concerts used here and available from the BBC had been released unabridged, it would have been a manageable 12CD set (two CDs for the early sessions and Paris, one CD for Wembley 1975, two CDs each for Knebworth 78, Lyceum 1980, Wembley 1987 and Knebworth 1992, and another for Birmingham 1998). At least The Way We Walk – Longs/Shorts from the 1992 tour contained a better representation, but again, gathering the music into longer/shorter songs collections was a puzzler. One that maybe allowed the fans who preferred their mprog of the more traditional persuasion to avoid the pop songs. And then the release of the Over Europe 2007 set – a little like some of the U2 fan club releases – at least replicated the tour set and with ‘best’ versions of the songs played from assorted locations. We have gathered all the information (including details about the BBC archives) in this article, and you will also find an in-depth evaluation of the content and artwork.Compared to the Archive 1967-75 version of Stagnation, left and right channels are swapped here. The slightly more compression and slightly reduced lower mids result in slightly greater transparency. Well done.
