The 1976-1982 boxset will not only contain new 5.1 mixes, but also completely new stereo mixes that can be enjoyed both in SACD stereo and in normal CD stereo. This is why a sampler CD was released as a teaser. We have listened to it very carefully.
Just before the release of the first SACD/DVD boxset covering the studio albums from 1976-1982 a promo DVD was given out. It contains 5.1 versions in Dolby Digital and dts sound. We checked it out.

John Mayhew was our star guest at the Evolution Of A Rock Band event 2006. The former Genesis drummer and direct predecessor of Phil Collins kindly agreed to sit in the hot seat for an interview. It was conducted as an on-stage question time; most questions came directly from the audience.

Simultaneously to the Platinum Collection Genesis released the The Video Show DVD in 2004. It unites almost all promo videos the band did in stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1 and dts sound. Christian Gerhardts was all ears (and eyes).
They are well-known, those words from The Musical Box, one of the songs that made Genesis famous. During the first half of the 1970s Genesis became a cult band – not least because of their live shows. Paul Russell’s book covers this period.
