Genesis Archive 2: 1976-1992 (2000) |
Platinum Collection (2004) |
Genesis 1976 -1982 (2007) |
Platinum Collection is a career-spanning box set by British band Genesis and was released in 2004 in the UK and year later in North America.
The set consists of three CDs that overlook Genesis' career from their formative period with Peter Gabriel, Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett, continuing through their peak with Phil Collins as lead singer to their most recent recordings with Ray Wilson as frontman. Alike 1998's Genesis Archive 1967-75, this collection is mostly sequenced in reverse chronological order for the purpose of providing precedence to the newer material. The majority of the tracks were also remixed by studio collaborator Nick Davis.
Going from 1970's Trespass to 1997's Calling All Stations, Platinum Collection stands as the most comprehensive Genesis retrospective available. Upon its release, it reached #21 in the UK and #100 in the US.
