This is the remaster of the Dutch Test Pressing (2LP) of the officially released album GENESIS LIVE. This one sounds better than all official releases of that album. The track "Supper's Ready" was not included in the official release.

This Dutch Live Test Pressing is not a regular test pressing because what was finally used on the official Genesis Live LP is different than what was used on this pressing. An extra song is included, the introductions are longer, and the mix is different. (source: genesisimuseum.com)

It is my conclusion that these LPs are a sort of anomaly; neither a regular test pressing nor a radio concert. These are test pressings for the Leicester/Manchester 1973 concert that was to be used on the official Genesis Live LPs, but not a test pressing for the official LPs themselves.

recording comment:
The ultimate version of this wonderful collectors item. Finest sound quality ever found, this release put all the other ones onto shame. I really wonder how did they manage to produce this, it's such a professional remastering work!. This is what Genesis Live could have been... well, I think the guys should have a listen to this priceless piece of work and then ... release it as should have been at last!, with all the fascinating Gabriel stories, a more natural live atmosphere and the arguably best version I've ever heard of Supper's Ready
