Genesis - 2004. The Platinum Collection. 3CDs

Thanks Nekto

CD3 1974 – 1970

The third disc is undoubtedly that part of the collection that people were looking forward to most. It features classics from the band’s early days when Peter Gabriel was the singer. Genesis recorded six albums with him. The somewhat immature first album, From Genesis To Revelation from 1969, was excluded from the present collection.
Only three songs from the concept double album The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974) can be found in this set. The title song has the complete intro, stronger drums and improved stereo sound. Counting Out Time, at the time a not so successful single, is included with a shortened intro but it’s not the single version. Marvellous drum sound, stronger backing vocals and a slightly longer vocal ending make up for it, though. The version of Carpet Crawlers included here is some 15 seconds shorter than on the album, but the drums come out better and Gabriel’s voice sounds much warmer. It is a pity, though, that cult classic In the cage did not make it onto this collection.
Not only fans rate 1973’s Selling England By The Pound highly. It should not take wonder that three great songs from the album made the collection. The new mix of Firth Of Fifth delights us with its exquisitely clear sound. You can even hear the pedals of the grand piano. The drums do not sound dry anymore, but they are still very powerful throughout the song. Hackett’s guitar is so much more brilliant and Rutherford’s picking technique really begins to shine. The Cinema Show pleases with a more airy sound probably caused by the minuscule reverb effect on the drum tracks. I Know What I Like was cut just a little bit, but with this remix the vocals are enjoyably distinct.
When Genesis released Foxtrot in 1972 it became their international breakthrough. The album is honored with the inclusion of Supper’s Ready in this collection. Regrettably, however, it is the original, un-remixed version that was used. Many people will also miss the album’s opening song Watcher Of The Skies that was scheduled to be included in the collection.
We are then treated to the core of Nursery Cryme (1971), which was the first album with newcomers Phil Collins on drums and Steve Hackett on guitar. The musical box is an opus of more than ten minutes‘ length. The new mix brings out the bass sound and the dynamic leaps of the song while it also corrects volume problems of the original version.
The collections follows the concept of Genesis‘ 1970 release Trespass and of the early live shows: Go out with a bang, or, in this case, with their first big classic The Knife.
On this song, it’s still founding member Anthony Phillips plucking the strings and short-time member John Mayhew on the drums. Both their efforts come out very nicely in the new mix. Compared to the original version, this mix has (sometimes drastically) different vocal effects, less muddy drums and some interesting stereo tricks in the instrumental parts.

The Platinum Collection is not just another 3CD compilation. It is the only release so far to include all eras of the band’s history and provide a decent general view of the three decades of this unique band for newcomers. It is regrettable that some classics had to be left out (had they really?) because not all songs fully represent the variety of music on the album they come from. With 15 albums under their belt, the band should have gone for a 4CD box with the appropriate layout. The 20 page booklet is another missed opportunity. It only includes brief texts by Hugh Fielder, fotos of the album covers but no single image of the band. Surely there would have been a way to tell the history of the band in a more interesting way. We applaud the fact that most of the older tracks were used in the remixed versions made by Genesis’ mixer-in-residence Nick Davis. Still it may be asked why some of the songs did not get a thorough overhaul. There would have been space for the odd single mix to please collectors of rarities, particularly since this collection has such a strong focus on single releases. Be that as it may, a price of around EUR 20 is quite attractive...
