Any info about the source / quality of the Rich 160 recordings, Stuart?

Nearer 300 SL tapes by my reckoning!

I too did have a little Genesis phase I have to admit but went completely off them around the Abacab period. Followed PG (up to PG4) rather than PC though did like In The Air Tonight and PCs drumming on PG3 was OK I suppose. 

Don't know about the sell-out type scenario, I wonder if it's just that it becomes more difficult to maintain creativity, but easier or more natural to make what the masses would like. What I mean is, are there a group of bands/musicians who had some great original material up their sleeves but ditched it in preference to something that would sell more? I favour the idea that most of the bands who "sold out" actually had used up all their creative reserves, but still had the technical ability, the fame etc to keep making a living in the industry. Fair enough, but I don't have to like them any more!

And maybe most bands who still did have something to say, did so, which is why Wire in 2004 was a fantastic gig and they didn't play a single track I knew from the 70s/80s/90s.

I digress.

I have opened and sorted the first batch of the Rich 160. There are separate track listings too which I will scan (sorry Rich not quite up to the beauty of the John Peel Papers listings but gold dust nonetheless).

Back at work at the weekend (my ripping station is at my digs where I work) so will take the first batch there and hopefully get the first few tapes online then.

> Funny but I think Genesis's self-titled 1983 album is brill - maybe it's nostalgia for the time but there're some great toons on there -'Mama' (incredible drumming), 'Home By The Sea' etc. Yeah, like Bill, I also love good punk / new-wave and The Fall, Can (incredible drumming), Magazine etc.
