Rhino has announced the release of the 1976-1982 Genesis box set for May 15. Don't see a price on their web page but rumor has it around $115.00. Here's a link to their press release:http://www.rhino.com/rzine/pressrelease.lasso?PRID=477

Not much cheaper than importing the SACD version (unless street price is heavily discounted from that)."How wonderful it will be to have a leader unburdened by the twin horrors of knowledge and experience." -- Mr. Wick

Re: Genesis on SACD soon
On Friday I got what I ordered from Elusive Disk:Duke
Trick of the Tail
And then there were Three
SACDs and NTSC DVDs in DTS
Listened to all of them multiple times and they are awesome! Phil's voice sounds outstanding. Trick of the Tail is my favorite so far. Great surround sound without many gimmicks. Just outstanding sound.

$110 is OK, but a lot for regular CDs if you think about it. They want $315 for the SACD edition!

Re: Genesis on SACD soon
I got Duke, Abacab and ...And Then There Were Three last night from CD Universe. They are the Hong Kong versions: Hybrid CD/SACDs (stereo and MC mixes), DD 5.1 (24/48), DTS 5.1 (24/96) and NTSC for the videos. Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to check them out (what I was able to check out sounded excellent), but will do so tonight!!!
Given the sound on these discs, I'm particularly curious to hear how good newer recordings like Invisible Touch and We Can't Dance will sound!

Re: Genesis on SACD soon
Some first impressions after sitting down with Duke, Abacab and ...And Then There Were Three: I really wish Phil Collins' drums were featured a little more prominently in the mix. To me, all of the other instruments sounds great; crisp and clearly presented. I just think the drums could have used a little more "umph.""Music is a magic carpet loaded with oils and other soothing potions, it's just what you need when you don't know what you need, when you've got more questions than answers." - Bob Lefsetz

Re: Genesis on SACD soon
i would like to kn ow when the first set of these will be for sale at the usualplaces like best buy, CC, amazon etc, not as imports and not for $300+
hmv has it sometimes but you have to check nearly all the time.
oddly part of the description translates to...
"Dispatch possible time: Limitation board complete sale
Because of the limited board we have sold completely. There is no excuse, but you cannot order."

If I follow my order that I got of the sacd set, it says it sold outof a limited edition. I see some places sell it for about $180 us. I paid about $100 at hmv when I preordered the sacd box set.

Ugh. . .I think I may just save myself the agita and $$$ and live with Rhino's DTS DVD editions instead of the SACDs.Hm. . .Amazon is listing this at $117 with Hybrid SACDs. I wonder whether that's a mistake.

Re: Genesis on SACD soon
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is not in this batch. The next batch is Aug I think (from AVS).If it's not worth waiting until the last minute to do, then it's not worth doing.

Re: Genesis on SACD soon
According to an EMI press release (Germany), the release was now rescheduled (originally June/July)- the set will be released in September 2007.
Genesis (1983)
Invisible Touch (1986)
We Can't Dance (1991)
Calling All Stations(1997)
Third set was due December but suspect it will be pushed back as well.
Trespass (1970)
Nursery Cryme (1971)
Foxtrot (1972)
Selling England By The Pound (1973)
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974)
I bought the first Box set from hmv.co.jp and have not been impressed with anything but the surround mix. Everything is remastered 'hot' like everything else these days. No dynamic range and it is all 'in your face'.

Re: Genesis on SACD soon
I'll grab the self-titled CD+dvd album in the next batch, but everything after that is just too pop-ey for me (even the s/t album is kind of pushing my limits but I really want to hear "Momma", "Home By the Sea" and the last track in surround form).

Anyone know why they scheduled the first set of albums to be released last? I've just started getting into those albums when I found a beat-up vinyl copy of Trespass last year and eventually got hold of the CD version (a next door neighbor in a college dorm used to play Lamb.... a lot and I always enjoyed listening to it, but at the time I was drifting away from prog rock - the Moodys rool!
- and into more punk-ish and alternative material).

Re: Genesis on SACD soon
I think people are way too harsh on "Invisible Touch", I am a child of the 1980's, I grew up with MTV, Invisible Touch is loaded with tracks that take me back to those years, hell even my mother liked that album (of course, she was the target Phil Collins solo/Lionel Richie type of demographic). I guess if I grew up on 70's Genesis, I would've hated it but with my age group, I was so young at the time that I had no idea Phil Collins was the member of a rock band until the Invisible Touch video was on MTV (and at that age, I also didn't know "that guy with that cool Sledgehammer video" was a member too)

To maximize profit during their 2007 reunion tour.
Releasing the pre-Phil material first doesn't jive with the current touring lineup.

Re: Genesis on SACD soon
There is also a rumour that Gabriel is willing to do a Lamb tour in 2008, so it would coincide with that tour. Don't know how serious that rumour is, but I wouldn't rule it out entirely as the other four are keen to do it.Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes time, and it annoys the pig.
