GENESIS
BBC BROADCASTS
Tony Banks Curated
53-Track 5-CD And 24-Track Triple-LP Sets Containing Previously Unreleased Genesis Recordings For The BBC, 1970-1998
Release Date March 3
Genesis BBC BROADCASTS is an extensive collection of broadcast material from one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time and one of Britain's most internationally renowned bands. Curated by founder member Tony Banks and the group’s long-time engineer and producer Nick Davis, the set is available as a 53-track 5-CD set and 24-track triple LP.
Released on March 3, this is the first time all of these tracks have been released on vinyl, and the first time a majority of the iconic 1987 Wembley show has been made available in an audio-only format (further details below).
These collections represent the cream of the group’s work recorded by the BBC between 1970 and 1998, and it includes contributions from all three of the group’s vocalists, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Ray Wilson. With notes by author Michael Hann and packaged with a 40-page booklet, BBC BROADCASTS contains favorites such as “Home By The Sea,” “Mama,” “Duchess,” “Carpet Crawlers,” “No Son Of Mine,” “Turn It On Again,” and many more.
With only a handful of these tracks previously officially available, Genesis BBC BROADCASTS acts as both a collector’s cornucopia and an alternative “greatest hits.” Stretching from the very beginnings of the band’s career via appearances on Night Ride and John Peel, the set encompasses both of the group’s Knebworth performances (1978 and 1992) as well as their much-loved 1980 show at London’s Lyceum and triumphant sell-out run of shows at Wembley in 1987.
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.
Genesis are one of the world’s biggest-selling and most successful bands of all time. They have sold an estimated 100 million albums and have played to sold-out stadiums and arenas all over the world for decades, most recently with their global sold-out The Last Domino? Tour which concluded with a three-night run at London’s O2 Arena on March 22, 2022.
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.
