Genesis Archive #2: 1976β1992 is the second
box set by English rock band
Genesis. It was released on 6 November 2000 on
Virgin and
Atlantic Records as the follow-up to their previous retrospective box set, Genesis Archive 1967β75 (1998). This set covers the band's history post 1975, when drummer
Phil Collins replaced original lead singer
Peter Gabriel.
Contents
The three discs consist of live recordings (mostly previously unreleased, with a few that had been B-sides), 12" remixes, a "work-in-progress" jam, non-album
B-sides, and tracks from the Spot the Pigeon and 3Γ3 EPs. There was minor backlash from fans as "Match of the Day" and "Me and Virgil" were left off the set (although both had been released on CD before) due to
Tony Banks and
Mike Rutherford disliking the former track, while Phil Collins disliked the latter one. However, the band later changed their minds about the songs, and they were re-released on the Genesis 1976β1982 box set. Additionally, "Submarine" and "It's Yourself", neither of which had been released on CD before, were both editedβthe former due to damage to the master tape, and the latter due to the band's preference. "Submarine" was later re-released in its original unedited form on the Genesis 1976β1982 box set. Oddly, an outline of the spiral on the cover of the Calling All Stations album appears on the cover of this boxset even though no material from those sessions was included.
