Genesis 1970-1975 is a box set of five studio albums by Genesis featuring Peter Gabriel. It was released on 10 November 2008 in Europe by EMI and on 11 November 2008 in North America by Atlantic/Rhino. The 7-CD/6-DVD box set includes newly remixed versions of the albums Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (the band's 1969 debut album, From Genesis to Revelation, was excluded from the box set for licensing reasons). The fifth pair of discs includes B-side songs, 3 rare songs from BBC Sessions in 1970 and the never before released Genesis Plays Jackson soundtrack. Each bonus DVD features audio versions of the albums in 5.1 surround sound, as well as videos from each album's corresponding tour, new interviews, and photo galleries. The European version includes CD/SACD Hybrids instead of standard CDs. In addition to the 7-CD/6-DVD box set EMI has announced a limited edition vinyl box set was released on 24 November 2008.

Genesis 1970-1975 appeared at position seven in the "Top 100 Recommended CD Reviews of All Time" at All About Jazz.1

Audio formats

In the European and Japanese releases of this box set, the CDs are hybrid SACD/CD disks. The SACD layer is a multichannel surround sound remix.2

In the Canadian and U.S. releases of this box set, standard CDs with no SACD layer are included.3

In all versions of the box set, the DVD disks are DVD-Video format (not DVD-Audio), although they contain both audio and video tracks. These DVDs include three audio mixes: DTS 5.1-channel surround sound, Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound, and Dolby Digital stereo.4 The DTS surround sound is a slightly compressed version of the surround sound on the SACDs,5 and the Dolby surround sound is a slightly inferior quality to the DTS.6

All of the audio tracks on these CDs were remixed in stereo and surround sound by producer Nick Davis.

In addition to the 7-CD/6-DVD box set, EMI has announced a limited edition vinyl box set will be released on 24 November 2008.
