Free Music Notes for Platinum Collection Genesis

Free Music Review: One of two best ways to get into Genesis' music
Hit: 5 Stars

Genesis' 3-CD box set The Platinum Collection, which was released in September of 2005 here in the US, and (until its discontinuation of being in print last year in favor if the 2-disc version of Turn It On Again The Hits) was the best Genesis compilation available.
The three discs in the set contains 40 songs, many of them freshly remixed by Genesis engineer Nick Davis, and was close to four hours of music.
It also contained a 20-page booklet with an interview with Phil Coliins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks conducted by Hugh Fielder as well as the song titles and writing credits, what songs came from which albums, pictures of the album covers, and thank you's.
Prior to The Platinum Collection, there was the limp 18 track compilation Turn It On Again: The Hits (1999) (which was thankfully reissued last year as a 2-CD set). The 2 songs missing from that set here are "Congo" and "Carpet Crawlers 99" - no issue from me with these being omitted (they are on both versions of the Turn It On Again compilation).
Disc 1 was their most recent stuff from 1982 to 1997. We start with four tracks from the 1991 US Top 5 album We Can't Dance ("No Son of Mine", "I Can't Dance", "Jesus He Knows Me" and "Hold on My Heart" which were all the big hits from the album). Then we had five tracks from 1986's Top 3 album Invisible Touch (the album's chart-topping title cut, "Throwing It All Away", "Tonight Tonight Tonight (edited)", "Land of Confusion" and "In Too Deep" all of which were singles). Then the first five tracks from the 1983 Top 10 self-titled effort a/k/a The Shapes Album (the atmospheric "Mama", the US smash "That's All", the epic "Home By the Sea/Second Home By the Sea" (I count as one track but is split as two) and "Illegal Alien" (remixed for this collection)). Then from the UK 3 X 3 EP and the original US edition of the Top 10 album Three Sides Live we had the Top 30 hit "Paperlate" (here in a new 2005 remix). The first disc ends with the title cut from 1997's dud Calling All Stations.
Disc two covered 1976-81. We start with two tracks from 1981's US Top 10 album Abacab (the album's title cut and "Keep it Dark" (both of which were remixed for this collection) although some question why the album's other US hits "No Reply at All" and "Man on the Corner" are missing but were on the off-shoot Video Show DVD). Then we have four tracks from 1980's Duke ("Turn it On Again", "Behind the Lines", "Duchess" and "Misunderstanding" (all are remixed except for Behind the Lines)). The band's first US Gold selling Top 20 album, 1978's And Then There Were Three, featured three tracks ("Many Too Many", "Follow You Follow Me" and "Undertow" (all here in remixed versions)). 1977's Top 30 charting Wind and Wuthering is represented by three tracks ("In That Quiet Earth", Afterglow" and "Your Own Special Way" (all here in remixed versions save Your Own Special Way). The band's first US Top 40 album A Trick of the Tail was represented by three tracks (the title cut, "Ripples" and "Los Endos" (all remixed). Robbery Assault and Battery was also remixed but is on the off-shoot Video Show DVD).
Disc 3 is 80 minutes of Peter Gabriel era Genesis starting with three tracks from his finale with the band, 1974's The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (which were represented by the title cut, "Counting Out Time" and "The Carpet Crawlers" (all here in remixed versions)). Then we have three tracks from 1973's Selling England by the Pound ("Firth of Fifth", "I Know What I Like" and "The Cinema Show" (all remixed)). Next is the 22-minute epic "Supper's Ready" from 1972's Foxtrot. Next is the 10 minute epic "The Musical Box" from 1971's Nursery Cryme (here in a remixed version). The 1970 album Trespass is represented by "The Knife" (here in a remixed version).
This collection may have only stalled at #100 in the US but sales aside, this was a great start point for those who want to either discover Genesis or rediscover them in a new light with the remixing job on many of the tracks and a look back on one of rock's best bands.
