I was planning on buying the Genesis 1970-1975 boxed set. I went to Acoustic Sounds and was surprised to find two.

The first is from Elektra/Rhino and the second is an import from EMI. Both are on 200g vinyl. My understanding is that both use the new mixes. Is that right? I also take it that the Rhino set is the one that I want. Right? Wrong?

Thanks Jerome. I'm really hearing things now that I never heard on the original LPs. The Lamb is excellent, but the biggest surprise was the quality of Foxtrot and Nursery Crimes. I have the 200 gram pressing of Selling England, but I like the pressing in the box set better. I just think Rhino really pulled this one off in spades. The best remastered set I have.

After what seemed like a wait that lasted forever, FedEx ground finally delivered my Genesis boxed set. I am most of the way through Foxtrot and am really enjoying it.

Thanks Wayner.
