This has exactly the same catalogue number as my (UK, jewel case) version, but sounds UTTERLY different - much more like my original vinyl copy. This should be the 'definitive edition' remaster, but sounds like a completely different (and much improved) mastering. If you're checking this out you may already be aware of the Japanese SHM format (where the transparent base layer of the CD is made of a dense polymer with a high refractive index resulting in improved sound and separation). This is NOT an SHM, but it sure sounds like one, and kinda confirms my theory that Japanese pressing plants have been using higher quality base layers for years, as ALL Japanese imports sound better. The packaging replicates the original vinyl release exactly, so it's a lovely tactile experience. Quite apart from the improved sound quality, this is one of THE great live albums - you shouldn't even ATTEMPT a track like 'Supper's Ready' in a live environment, but it's magnificent and (whisper it) way better than the original studio cut (and I'm a Gabriel not a Collins fan). I'm really grateful to the seller for providing me with this excellent version of a masterpiece.Read full review

If you like prog-era Genesis then you probably have this already I suspect. If not it's great double live LP recorded in Paris from their 1977 tour (with one track taken from the '76 tour). The post-Gabriel line up tackles both their then recent, and Gabriel-era, material with conviction and whilst I know it's heresy I probably prefer the version of Supper's Ready (which is played in full) on this record than Foxtrot. Many of their better known songs are covered (e.g. Lamb Lies Down..., I Know What I Like, Carpet Crawlers, Firth of Fifth etc). I have seen online debates about the pros and cons of the mastering on this so-called "definitive"edition compared with the original LP, the earlier CD release and the SACD. It sounds fine to me and, as I bought it to complement my original vinyl double LP which still sounds great but is hard to play in the car, I'm very happy with this version.Read full review

Now that the iconic seconds out album has been re mastered, it brings you even closer to the genius of one of the worlds most influential bands. At last, every detail is layed bare for us all to enjoy a near perfect preformance. Genesis are one of the best live artists and this double live album captures them at there very best. If you are serious about music, this is a must have album.
