Genesis Archive 1967-75

Encyclopedia : G : GE : GEN : Genesis Archive 1967-75

 

Genesis Archive 1967-75 is a 1998 boxed set by veteran progressive rock/pop band Genesis.

This retrospective release covers the band's formative history when Peter Gabriel was lead singer. Two of the four discs consist of a previously unreleased live recording of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway from 1975. Some of Peter Gabriel's vocals on the live recordings of this box set were re-recorded by the singer in 1995 due to technical problems with the recording as well elaborate costumes that often muffled his voice. Guitarist Steve Hackett re-recorded some guitar parts as well.

In addition, Genesis Archive 1967-75 includes some performances from an unreleased live concert from London's Rainbow Theatre in 1973, demos, rare B-Sides and BBC recordings in 1970. The tracks are notable for being in reverse chronological order.

A well received package, Genesis Archive 1967-75 reached #35 in the UK.
