Genesis Detail Sprawling 'BBC Broadcasts' Box Set

The 53-track 5CD or 24-track 3LP set is due in February

BY Allie GregoryPublished Jan 16, 2023

Genesis founding member Tony Banks and the band's long-running engineer and producer Nick Davis have curated a massive BBC Broadcasts box set arriving next month.

The 53-track 5CD and 24-track 3LP sets — spanning recordings from 1970 to 1998 and including vocals from Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Ray Wilson — mark the first to collect many of the songs on vinyl, as well as the first time some of the tracks, including those recorded at their 1987 Wembley show, have made it to audio-only format. It also encompasses a pair of Knebworth performances, their 1980 show at London's Lyceum and much more.

Further, the set comes packaged with a 40-page booklet and liner notes by author Michael Hann. Pre-orders are available now with an expected ship date of February 28 for both CD and vinyl formats through the band's official website.
