Jackson Tape - At a recent interview at the genesis-fanclub.de Genesis Event, Richard MacPhail confirmed that Genesis had obtained the tape from the seller (thus terminating the auction). When asked about the tape's future, Banks had told Richard that there was the intention to release it through their website in the near future - Genesis-Fanclub.de. There is hope and a good indication that the tapes may finally be released as part of the forthcoming Gabriel era box set in late 2007.

One question I get asked quite a lot is "What is the best recording from individual tours?" Well, there is a wealth to choose from, so I have highlighted some of the more obvious ones, mainly from a sound quality perspective for new traders to look out for. I have tried to stick to complete shows, although there are some exceptionally good partial shows, often radio broadcasts or from Pre-FM discs.
Please feel free to dispute any of these! They are not always the most interesting shows from each tour, but they are probably the ones of the best quality |

Chapter & Verse - This book is the first time in over 20 years that Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel and Mike Rutherford have collaborated creatively on a project, working together to create the complete history of Genesis. It is a story that spans 30 years and 30 albums selling a staggering 212 million copies worldwide. It embraces world tours that have played to 25 million people and it covers the high-profile departure over the years of one vocalist, (Peter Gabriel), one highly influential guitarist (Steve Hackett) and their best-known drummer and vocalist (Phil Collins). Key fellow members of the band, management, road crew and entourage have also been interviewed, including Jonathan King (their first manager, who got Genesis signed to Decca in 1967), long-time cohort and road manager Richard MacPhail, Anthony Phillips (guitarist, founder member to 1970), Tony Smith (manager since 1973), drummers Bill Bruford, Chris Stewart and John Silver, and Ray Wilson, the Genesis vocalist after Phil Collins. |

The long awaited revision of Alan Hewitt's book Opening The Musical Box, was released in March 2007 on The Waiting Room website. From the press-release - "Contained within this new edition are most of the features which made the previous book such an essential reference work for the fans. Comprehensive discographies on the band and the various solo members are accompanied by sections on the film and television appearances. The various bootlegs of the band are examined in some detail as are some of the more common aspects of memorabilia. There is even a section on
some of the various Genesis “Tribute“ band’s which have sprung up in the last few years. All of this is accompanied by a substantially revised and expanded text which reflects the most recent developments within the band and its various solo projects. Fully illustrated with a wealth of photographs from the authors own collection and those of fans and band members alike the book also contains the most accurate listing of gig’s by the band and solo members ever published – one which the band themselves use as a reference !"
The book will be available in paper and hardback editions, the hardback edition being limited to a run of 500 copies and will be signed by the author. |

Following on from his 2005 Top 200 Rarities book which has now sold out, Peter Vickers has been back at work in compiling a bang up-to-date revision of his book including rare pictures of flyers, tickets, CDs and other memorabilia. The book, coming in at over 700 pages these days, contains images of thousands of collectible items. Sadly the images are almost wholly black and white, however the cost of producing a fully colour version of such an image rich book would be astronomical. The book can be ordered direct from Peter. |

The third book in Mario Giammetti's series focusing on the band members, pays attention to Tony Banks.

Mario's book is, as is to be expected full of detail with a smattering of promotional and private photographs. You lucky Italian fans! |
