Genesis At The BBC (Limited Edition)

Release date: 03.03.2023

---

Genesis’ “BBC Broadcasts” is a comprehensive collection of broadcast material from one of the best-selling artists of all time and one of the most internationally renowned British bands. Curated by founding member Tony Banks and the group’s longtime engineer and producer Nick Davis, it is available as a 5-CD set with 53 tracks and as a triple LP with 24 tracks.

These collections represent the group’s best recordings made by the BBC between 1970 and 1998, and include contributions from all three of the group’s singers, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Ray Wilson. With notes by author Michael Hann and a 40-page booklet, “BBC Broadcasts” includes favorites such as “Home By The Sea,” “Mama,” “Duchess,” “Carpet Crawlers,” “No Son Of Mine,” “Turn It On Again” and many more.

Since only a handful of these tracks have ever been officially available, Genesis’ “BBC Broadcasts” is both a cornucopia for collectors and an alternate “Greatest Hits.” From the band’s early days, through appearances on “Night Ride” and John Peel, to the Knebworth performances (78 and 92), as well as the popular show at London’s Lyceum in 1980 and the triumphant sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium in 1987.

Rounded out by material from the 1998 NEC and Paris Theatre and Nightride sessions from the early ’70s, as well as the coveted encore version of ‘Watcher Of The Skies’ at Wembley Empire Pool in 1975, Genesis’ “BBC Broadcasts” is a real treasure trove.

Genesis are one of the world’s most successful and best-selling bands of all time. They have sold an estimated 100 million albums and have played sold-out stadiums and arenas around the world for decades, most recently with their worldwide sold-out Last Domino? Tour, which ended with a three-night performance at London’s O2 Arena on March 22, 2022.
