Genesis Archive: 1967-1975 [Box] by Genesis

Pros: Early demos and singles; excellent live recording of 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway'

Cons: Some of the early Genesis music may not appeal to some music fans

Review: If you were somewhat disappointed with Genesis' latest release (Turn It On Again - The Hits), I would recommend that you turn your attention to a boxed set that they released in 1998. Entitled 'Genesis Archive 1967-75', the set consists of four CD's...

Pros: The third disc is essential and there are some nice,rare photos!

Cons: Over-priced,the fourth disc is unneccesary and the packaging is very cheap!

The Bottom Line: Tis recommended for people who like the way Peter Gabriel looks with his reverse mohawk!

Review: This could have been so much better!

This boxed set will appeal to the most die-hard early Genesis fans..of which I am proudly one! Before I sing it's praises in my deep bozza nova bass voice, I must..yes I MUST, point out...

Pros: The Lamb Live...

Cons: Few surprises, cheap box set, bad chosen content
