Notes: Recorded live at the De Montfort Hall & at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, England, February, 1973. Dedicated to Richard MacPhail, "who left us April, 1973". Richard MacPhail did not in fact die, but left the band support for other interests.
This album was originally planned to be a double album, with a second record containing a full side-long version of "Supper's Ready". According to Record Collector No. 146, Oct. 1991, one double album test pressing of both sets was made, a Dutch release on the Philips record label. The number of copies in this run is not stated, although it was probably very few. No one knows who owns any of them, if any are even extant at this time. Tony Banks (via Nick Davis, January 1995) has stated that there was no double test pressing and that a live "Supper's Ready" was the only track left off of the album. This is hardly the end of it. Test pressings are insisted to exist by some collectors! [This is discussed more in the rarities section below.]
There is a rare Italian limited edition of "Genesis Live", which does NOT have the extra tracks, but came with a totally different limited edition sleeve of Gabriel in his flower mask, surrounded by a white border. Charisma 636 9942L is the limited edition Italian release.
Note on "Success Series". The front sleeve is the same as the US release, except the "Success Series" logo in the top left corner as on the cassette, and of course the Charisma line art logo in the upper right corner. On the back, "Printed in The Netherlands" appears at the bottom of the box containing Peter's short story and there is no dedication to Richard MacPhail. Over the picture of Peter in the flower mask at top right is printed the following: (in the area of Pete's forehead)
STEREO 9279 530 [10] {10 is boxed}
(also playable in mono)
{cassette icon} 7259 530
The credits in the block opposite Pete's short story may have slight variations from the US version, but the track listing is the same, with erroneous times. INNER SLEEVE: The SUCCESS SERIES inner sleeve is black with pictures of other albums in the series on both sides, including Genesis LIVE. RECORD LABEL: Standard pink Charisma logo with the normal international variations such as the "STEMRA" logotype and the copyright warning reading "Unauthorised copying,etc."
