GENESIS boxed set 1970-1974

Well, I really didn't want to spend this much money, but this SACD NTSC DVD box set (1970 - 1975) has gotten so difficult to find that I purchased the last one available from an eBay seller in Hong Kong. With this purchase, I will have the complete 3 box set Genesis collection since I already had the 1st 2 box set releases that I had purchased last year.

I would have thought you might track down the vinyl box set release of this one too...as it's the only one of the three released on vinyl.

I had the first two NTSC SACD R0 boxsets but ended up selling them as I realized I probably wouldn't listen to the material enough...it was more the format that made me buy them. I will pick up Invisible Touch and Duke on single SACD releases though, they seem easy enough to find.

Hi Steve,

I have 16 Genesis albums on vinyl already purchased in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Many of them are unopened and in all likelihood many of the earlier albums are reissues. So, for me, I wanted them on SACD with the option to listen in both 2 channel and multichannel along with the DVDs.

The SACD's are definitely fantastic...and I think they're miles better than the 24/96 dts mixes. Haven't listened to any of the PG SACD's yet, but all the Phil the Shill ones were great fidelity and surround mixes.

I figured you had the albums on vinyl already,

Doby, I have all the PG SACD's and only UP is in multi channel. For the money I spent on these I'd have to say I'm disappointed in the sound quality. Not the upgrade I expected. UP sounds out of this world but to me it's his worst offering. In fact all of the stereo only SACD disks I have are disappointing sonic wise. Just picked up Weather Report's Heavy Weather last week and am really bummed with the mediocre sound - not much better than the remaster.
