"I'd Rather Be You" is a pop song by the English band Genesis. It was first released as the B-side to "Throwing It All Away" in June 1987,[1] and later appeared on the rarities compilation Archive #2 1976-1992 in November 2000.[2]
Recorded during the Invisible Touch sessions in 1986,[3] "I'd Rather Be You" was eventually released on the last single taken from the album in Britain and Germany (in the United States the instrumental "Do the Neurotic" was featured instead[1]).
"I'd Rather Be You" was one of three B-sides released on singles from Invisible Touch, all of which were included on Archive #2. In 2007 they were featured on the bonus disc of the boxed set Genesis 1983-1998.[4]
