Genesis Gabriel era SHM and Platinum SHM coming

Thanks to my friend David @ world of genesis

The previous (now out of print) 2013 SHM used the 2008 remixes/remasters
Will they be getting right this time? Will they use the original mixes. Really hope so!

Genesis' R-Kive & Early Back Catalog Being Reissued In Japan on Mini LP Sleeve SHM and Platinum SHM-CDs

The Japanese issue of Genesis' new R-Kive 3-CD collection will be released on November 26, 2014. It will initially be released as a limited paper sleeve (mini LP sleeve) SHM-CD and Platinum SHM-CD. The Japanese release of R-Kive (which has an identical track listing to the North American and European issues scheduled for release this month) will also usher in the reissue of the "Peter Gabriel era" Genesis catalog in Japan with the following limited paper sleeve SHM and Platinum SHM-CDs slated for release on the same day:SHM-CD:

R-Kive (catalog # UICY-76712/4), Trespass (catalog # UICY-76715), Nursery Cryme (catalog # UICY-76716), Foxtrot (catalog # UICY-76717), Selling England By The Pound (catalog # UICY-76718), and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (catalog #UICY-76719/20),

Platinum SHM-CD:
R-Kive (catalog # UICY-40091/3), Trespass (catalog #UICY-40094), Nursery Cryme (catalog # UICY-40095), Foxtrot (catalog # UICY-40096), Selling England By The Pound (catalog # UICY-40097), and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (catalog # UICY-40098/9).

 

Flat transfer original mixes would be a dream

 

Agreed.... and maybe there's a small glimmer of hope that they will also make it to SHM-SACD...

 

Whats the difference between SHM and Platinum SHM CD's?

 

Why is there ANY reason to expect these will not use the later remixes? The band still considers those to be definitive. Any Japanese release would have to use whatever the band sanctions.

 

These would have to be good to better the UK VCs imo.

 

Just moneymaking guys. Chase the original vinyl and for Duke, Trick and perhaps Live 73 the first gen on CD and you're done.

 

If these will be the remixes I'll pass. If they'll use the original mixes it will not be hard to beat what's out there digitally, but it won't surprise me if they'll ruin everything yet another time. I won't get excited until the sound quality gets good reviews here. Even then, I'll probably end up returning to my LPs anyway.

 

I was just thinking yesterday how much I'd love some Genesis in SHM. But they better redo them before I bite. I bought the existing SHM-CD of Lamb and it is dreadful. I'm not going to get burned again.

 

Platinum, presumably. Perhaps packaging as well.

 

...or sensibly used EQ, like the original Virgin/Charisma CDs?

We don't know if the master tapes sound great just transferred flat. My guess is they don't, which is perhaps what prompted the remixes. As our host has pointed out repeatedly, master tapes often sound awful.

 

This explains why the early Genesis CDs with the 2008 remix/remaster are OOP - and fairly difficult to find. Not that any of us are actually looking for them.

 

Well, it was interesting to listen to the remixes and I like to play them in my car stereo, but I clearly prefer the original mixes. Let's hope they will release new transfers from the original master tapes instead of re-releasing the remixes again.

 

Good´news
I preordered all, waiting for new mastering information credits. Then i ll cancel or not my preorder. If they re original mixes, i can say that those editions will be future collectors
Let s wait and see

 

They say "reissue", but nothing about remastering. So I'd be surprised if these aren't the crummy remixes.

 

Hoping for the best (original mixes) but expecting the worst (remixed).

 

At least it will be the regular denoised remasters...nobody needs them...

 

Maybe like the new UK (the Band) Issue, in which they didn't mention that it will be flat transfer, and yet they were...

 

Amazon UK is stating the genesis tracks being released tomorrow in uk on R-Kive are the 2007/2008 remasters .
So it looks likely the Shm releases will use these !

 

We should raise an online petition asking Steven Wilson to play his magicien skills on these classic albums, the same he does with the YES albums !

 

Now that's a very good idea.

 

I don't understand anybody prefering the original mix of Trespass or Nursery Cryme. They are just bad. Hell i will even throw TLLDOB in there too.

SEBTP on the other hand was very good originally. Foxtrot i a tie. IMO!

 

Unless this is a new mastering, then I'll be sticking with my "Diament" (even Barry's not sure) versions. Best I've heard. And the Austrian editions for the first five studio albums.

 

I'm not holding my breath.
The Classic Records vinyl of The Lamb... is proof of how good the original mix can sound if mastered properly.

 

What are the acronyms?
