BBC Broadcasts is a box set by the English rock band Genesis . It was released on 3 March 2023 by EMI Records .
Background
BBC Broadcasts was announced on 12 January 2023.[ 1] The set was curated by keyboardist Tony Banks and their longtime engineer and producer Nick Davis , who had also remastered the band's back catalogue for the Genesis 1970–1975 , Genesis 1976–1982 , and Genesis 1983–1998 box sets in 2007 and 2008.[ 2]
The album was released in two formats:
5-CD edition featuring performances ranging from their 1970 lineup of Banks/Gabriel/Mayhew/Phillips/Rutherford to the 1998 tour with Ray Wilson as vocalist.
A 3-LP edition collecting highlights from the full set.
The album marks the first release of the band's 1980 Lyceum Theatre (which includes the entire "Duke Suite") in an audio-only format; it had previously received a release in video format.
The concert movie from Wembley Stadium 1987 , later also included in The Movie Box 1981–2007 , was filmed on July 2 and 3, whereas the broadcast in this set was recorded on July 4.[ 3]
Additionally, it includes the first officially released live performances from Ray Wilson's tenure with the band (aside from the three acoustic performances on the "Not About Us " single).
"Shepherd", "Pacidy", and "Let Us Now Make Love" were previously released on Extra Tracks 1970–1975 . Those three tracks plus "Stagnation" had first appeared on Archive 1967–75 .
"Duke's Travels" and "Duke's End" had been released on Archive 2: 1976–1992 , while "Follow You Follow Me" is the same performance as on the original Three Sides Live album. Two more songs from the same show have been previously available on rather obscure releases: "Turn It On Again" on a US 12" promo and "The Lady Lies" on a UK flexidisc . The Genesis Archive versions of the latter song and "Ripples" were recorded on May 6, while "Deep in the Motherlode" and "One For The Vine" come from May 5 at Drury Lane.[ 4]

Notes
* ^ On the US edition on Rhino, the first two tracks are swapped, but the packaging does not reflect this, so the two tracks are mislabeled.[ 5] The European edition on UMC does not have this problem.[ 6]
