Perfect copy. Old and Good. G. [Gigio67]
mine was called "Master of the Beeb" from the trader--I assume that is the same as this [squonkman]
If it was possible to give a recording an A++, I would. This is an incredible live recording! 35 years old and sounds amazing. Classic Genesis line up at their hungriest. A must have for any Genesis fan interested in their early work. Doesn't get any better - can't get any better. Peace! [jrromman]
My copy also has the Top Gear session recorded later that year. [mdekoning]

Recording comments
A few different versions around. Most of them miss a very small part of the Musical Box Intro (the 3rd Henry from Henry, Henry, Henry). The one with the complete intro is the best I have heard. [wbeens]
Also on The Almost Complete BBC Sessions 1970-1972 [therealovo]
I have my own A+, full "Henry Henry Henry" version from the Alan Freeman re-broadcast of the show. Definitely the best early Gabriel era recording for me. The energy of the band is superb and, barring the slightly overdriven bass in The Musical Box and Peter standing too far from the mike on a couple of occasions, the performance is pretty much faultless. [Micklemus]

Recording comments
Disc One Notes
This is the 3rd known audience recording of Genesis from the start of their career
Cuts between some songs are present, sometimes interrupting stories.
Henry's sister is referred to as "henrietta" during this show, not cynthia
Disc 2 Notes:
Tracks 1-7 are mono but channel imbalance still existed and needed correction.
