I agree wholeheartedly with the Rugby Fans review from 24th October. What a wasted opportunity this set is and how brilliant it could have been. Anyone new to the band will find it an excellent alternative to trawling up and down the country to record fairs to try and track down most of the already released material on here. If you've been a lifelong fan and collected their output over the years then not a lot here will be new.

To summarise; already released on CD....

On the shoreline, Hearts on fire, You might recall, Paperlate, Evidence of Autumn, Do the neurotic, Inside and out, Feeding the fire, I can't dance (12"), Dreaming while you sleep (live), The Brazilian (live), Your own special way (live), Land of confusion (12"), Tonight, tonight, tonight (12"), Open door, Pigeons

Already released on vinyl....

I'd rather be you, Naminanu, Submarine, Invisible touch (12"), The Lady lies (live), Day the light went out, Vancouver, It's yourself

Never released commercially (vinyl or cd)....

Illegal alien (live), It's gonna get better (live), Deep in the Motherlode (live), Ripples (live), Burning Rope (live), Entangled (live), Dukes Travels (live), No reply at all (live), Man on the corner (live), Mama (work in progress)

Should have been included....

Match of the Day, Me and Virgil, Inside and Out (live), Eleventh Earl of Mar (live), All in a Mouses Night (live), White Mountain (live) circa 1975, Keep it Dark (live) + unreleased demos

Personally I would have ditched all the tedious 12" mixes in favour of the above section. I know these sets aim to capture broad appeal but surely the sales are mainly attributed to fans wanting to add gaps into their collections and 12" mixes of a band like Genesis are not usually sought after nor highly regarded. The demos mentioned in the earlier review would have been however.

A missed opportunity I fear and not the treat for fans that the 1998 retrospective set was.

OK, I admit, I'm a Genesis fan. I can't say I've trawled though records fairs trying to find their records, but I've probably heard most of their music, in fact I own all their albums. Genesis Archive II 1976-1992 is in the same vane as Archive I. Okay so it's not full of old band demo tapes but it's got some cracking tunes on it. The live set is excellent; really capturing the atmosphere at the time the songs was recorded. Illegal Alien starts the set off on CD2 and really captures the humour of Genesis' later years. The B-sides are b-sides, but some of these and other tracks are so close to fulfilling the album criteria and ambience, it's seems a shame that weren't included originally, more to the benefit of us now! So to the 12-inchs. Well the 80's were full of them, and of the mixes that are in the album a good bunch has been included. Land of Confusion with its ballsy thud and I Can't Dance with its excellent Tony Banks/Mike Rutherford riff. Some fans might be upset; others might be over the moon. Some love Phil, other prefer Peter. So I maybe half a die-hard fan but this is still in my collection, right next to Archive I. It's just great to listen to. Even the 10-minute work in progress version of Mama has something about it that makes you want to listen to how the group made things from nothing. Experience the different sides of Genesis, in this box set that's full of energy and atmosphere. The sound that is so Genesis, in fact a cleaner, crispy Genesis sound, and captures their full strength. Think of it as an addition to every album recorded in the period.

While I applaud Virgin Records' continuing loyalty to the Genesis back catalogue and the high quality of the tracks on the first Archive Box Set, I am a little dissapointed at the content of the latest trawl throught the archives. The ardent and long time fan, who this set is aimed at will probably have (in one form or another) all of the tracks on offer here. Firstly disc one: A selection of B-sides, many supposedly on CD for the first time. But at least 4 of the offerings appeared on CD singles. And why the ommission of "Me And Virgil" from the Paperlate EP?? Naminanu was the B-side to 2 singles (Keep It Dark and No Reply At All) so is hardly a rare track. Inside and Out (and the rest of "Spot the Pigeon" (though Match of the Day is omitted here, why?)was given a CD release a few years back by Virgin) On disc 2 the so called "Rare" live tracks are from some of the most popular bootlegs that most Genesis fans will already own. The LA Forum, Wembley and Theatre Royal / Lyceum shows were all FM broadcasts at the time and are now all available on CD's if you know where to look. I for one would have prefered some "real" rarities in CD quality like, for instance, the 1975 Trident Studio demo's(from where "It's Yourself" comes!), the 1978 Dallas rehearsals, the Invisible Touch "Work in progress" demo's (as recorded for the BBC), "Silver Song","All in a mouses night" from the 1977 tour, etc.. Disc three boasts that Man On the Corner was not on 3 sides live, but it did appear on the video of the same name and was repeated again on the History of Genesis video Set. I hope that the live version of "No Reply At All" is the one featuring the EWF horns - if so, why not add (from the same show - Forest Hills, New York - 1982) Paperlate? The live version of "Your Own Special Way" was on the CD single of Hold On My Heart (GENDG 8) and is billed as featuring the "Invisible String Section" - some rarity! And finally, the live version of "Dreaming While You Sleep" was originally found tucked away on the CD single "Tell Me Why" (GENDX 11). So, to say the least, i'm disapointed. I won't be bothered either way if i have it or not. What i'd like to know though, is do the Band have any plans to give the fans what they really want? Other groups from the same era (Deep Purple, Fairport Convention,Jethro Tull etc.) have benefited from opening up the archives and have released high quality CD's featuring rare and "UNRELEASED" live and studio material. A prime example is this years "California Sessions" by Deep Purple - the original studio tapes from the "Come Taste the Band" rehearsals. I'm sure any Genesis material in a similar vein would prove popular (especially with the option for it to be sold via the internet)
