Revised notes from "The Complete Guide To Live Genesis Radio Shows" by Dunnington:
During the late 70s and early 80s Phil made several appearances on Capital Radio (once with Mike) to give interviews and play demos and rare tracks. These occasions, hosted by Capital DJ Nicky Horne, a staunch supporter of Genesis, included original demos, studio live vocals over backing tracks and live songs from Glasgow 1976 sometimes described as "Seconds Out" out-takes.

Glasgow 1976 tracks broadcast by Capital:
	Dance On A Volcano
	Robbery, Assault & Battery
	It / Watcher Of The Skies (intro and ending)

The precise details of the Capital appearances are difficult to pin down, so it is worth digressing here to set down what we've pieced together so far (special thanks to Graham Collins):

Phil, Mike, Tony, Steve; November 1976
	Interviews and album tracks only, 55 mins

Phil Collins; 3rd November 1978:
	Eleventh Earl Of Mar (first take - interrupted) ()
	Inside And Out (part 2) (+)
	Eleventh Earl Of Mar (retake - full) ()
	Robbery, Assault & Battery ($)

Phil Collins ("Mummy's Weekly" program); 15th July 1979:
	Robbery, Assault & Battery (*)
	It / Watcher (has also received several other rebroadcasts) (*)
	Pigeons ()
	The Carpet Crawlers (inc. "There is lambs wool ..." intro) ()
	And So To F (Brand X) (+)

Phil Collins; 22nd July 1979 (approximate date):
	Dance On A Volcano (*)

Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford; 5th February 1980:
	Misunderstanding (+)
	Tomorrow Never Knows (Phil Collins) (+)

Phil Collins; 3rd February 1981:
	In The Air Tonight (Phil Collins) (+)
	Please Don't Ask (+)

Mike Rutherford; 2nd June 1982:
	Interviews and album tracks only, 30 mins

 = Live vocals over studio backing track
+ = Original demo
* = Live from Glasgow, Apollo, July 9th, 1976
$= Live from London, Earl's Court, June 24, 1977 
#= Peter Gabriel & Tom Robinson

On 26th December 1981 there was further radio play, this time on the Radio London program "Rock In The Movies". As well as playing Pink Floyd's Careful With That Axe Eugene, Crumbling Land and Seamus Blues they also aired I Know What I Like from the 1976 movie.

It/Watcher from Glasgow 1976 is the same version as on the UK release of the "Three Sides Live" double LP and CD. Phil's introduction to the encore can be heard on recordings of the Capital Radio show: he apologizes for the previous night when he praised the Scottish crowd for being the best audience in England!


Notes from the compiler: 
 
To date many bootlegs have surfaced including part of the tracks broadcasted/performed during the above mentioned appearances with various sound quality. This newly created 4cd-set collection includes all the known existing recordings of the broadcasts aired from 1976 to 1982, coming from master/1st/2nd generation source tapes. The bulk of the recordings are Tony Ryan's tapes to which i added the 1976 band interview provided by Darren Clarke and some segments here and there from the commonly circulating bootlegs just to complete some brief interview parts that were missing from the tapes used for this compilation. I also want to thank James Hendry for providing his tape of the 1981 Phil interview, but i chose to include Tony Ryan's version because it sounded better. It's always good to have different sources for the same thing if only to compare them and use the best one. 
 
A great work has been undertaken by me to remaster the recordings i received from those kind collectors. Most of the recordings suffered from annoying clicks and pops, and i removed all of them manually, one by one, restoring the original parts. I guess i have repaired some 200-250 errors in total. Now the listener is not distracted anymore from external noises that were not part of the original broadcasts. 
 
I did not touch the sound in any way, so i didn't apply any de-hissing, noise reduction or other treatment, as i believe the untreated version of a recording always surpasses its reworked version. Usually we don't have multitrack tapes, so we must work with cassette tapes or cds obtained from cassette tapes, and what you improve on one hand you will lose on the other. 
 
Here is presented for the first time Dance On A Volcano from the so-called Seconds Out Outtakes. For some strange reason all the previous versions of the Capital Radio Sessions missed that number. 
 
The first 3 CDs include the entire broadcasts, interviews and tracks, while the 4th CD, named Highlights, includes only the songs of interest (demo versions, Phil singing live over original backing tracks, live performances) linked together by brief parts of interviews/chats just to keep them in the right context. The latter would probably become the most played by the occasional listener, but the other 3 CDs offer a much wider perspective of the project. 
 
So let's go back to the late 70s-early 80s and switch on your radios.
