Is Amazon the best way to get these? Should I be looking to get the box set listed on the Genesis site?

Jim, I recently bought the set that includes "Trick of the Tail" to "ABACAB" However, note that the U.S. version of these sets do not include SACD versions, just standard CD and DVD Multichannel mixes of the songs. If you want SACD versions you have to import either the European version which unfortunately have the DVD video based extras in PAL format, or, I believe the Japanese version with has SACD and NTSC video. The downside is that they are more exepensive than what is selling on Amazon. I got my set from elusivedisc.com. The good news is that you can purchase the albums individually, but you would miss out on the bonus discs that are exclusive to the boxed sets.
The Gabriel albums have not been released yet but are scheduled to be coming soon as far as I know.
