I'm sure I had this but can't find it. I just have a sleeve for Choose Your Masques, where the contents are I know not...
First time I saw them on, still got the t-shirt (just about fits as a sweatband these days 🤣)

What do you think, is it worth buying?

Absolutely,just the B-sides and Outtakes justify it,the book is top quality and I haven't even tried the blu-ray yet

The whole package is almost identical in format to the IA deluxe, which I thought was superb

Hoping FOABP gets the same treatment in the near future 🤞🏻

I have 5 of these:

Genesis, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Sabbath and Yes...all of which warrant a bit of merit (a bit surprised ELP's Love Beach didn't make the list for it's legendary sleeve alone 😂)

Picked up a Canadian copy of 'And Then There Were Three' for 3 quid

On release, it was the first Genesis album that I was underwhelmed by (not including their debut, of course), especially following the majesty of Seconds Out. However, over the years I've learned to really appreciate it, in a very similar way to my experience with Signals

A timeless (including Time 😁) masterpiece 👌🏻

Second album I ever bought, in 1976 (following ELP's Brain Salad Surgery) and I remember recording it on one side of my first cassette, with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath occupying the other side of the C90 (having loaned it from a school mate's elder brother)...still have it somewhere 😆

Probably the album I own the most copies of, but strangely enough never did grab the Immersion boxset (although I do have the WYWH and Wall ones)

Cracking show by the Von Hertzen Brothers in the very compact, hot and sweaty Night and Day in Mancunia last night. Would have loved to see the London show tonight too, with the not inconsiderable bonus of the excellent Marisa and the Moths supporting  8)

Great to catch up with Nick and always radiant Mrs S after so long  :D

Actually a real good comeback album. I love the buzzsaw opening riff of Check my Brain

Agreed, even has Elton playing on the title track 😉

I still reckon Jerry Cantrell's second solo album Degradation Trip may be the best thing he's ever released...and I'm a huge AiC fan
