Original presenter's notes (Thanks so much - this is EXTREMELY well done! - Goody)
*
This is not meant as a definitive version, but an edit that
is comfortable to listen to throughout a complete show,
with all the track intros in place.
_
All material is from these two sources.
GENESIS - 10th June 1976, London. A+ PRE-FM (TM Productions) Bill Bruford on drums!
Genesis - GASP014 - Hammersmith Odeon London UK 6-10-76 (Soundboard)
This is a compilation of the best sources from these two previous postings.
Track introductions have been put back into place on the Pre-FM source.
The Pre-FM source is used for all music/tracks as it is clearer.
Audio levels evened out on the soundboard source to match the Pre-FM source.
Crowd noise has been made continuous, and a little added to the soundboard
source to match the character of the Pre-FM sections.
Some droputs and cuts have been repaired.
No EQ has been done to these sources.
_
Sources/Lineage:
British Biscuit (BB)
AV Ebay-auction the Pre-FM Reels for the elusive British Biscuit Aug 15 1976.
Transferred from the original D.I.R.-“British Biscuit” radio show reels incl.
basic restoration by Alessandro Vasserot.
Restoration (CEDAR Cambridge) by tom 2006.
Flac files.
Tracks 2-8, Track 14. No track introductions.
Genesis Authentic Soundboard Project - GASP 014
No lineage given. Sounds like a raw soundboard transfer, some wear to the tape towards the end.
Has all tracks, but some cuts between tracks, and also at a couple of starts and ends of tracks.
Shn files.
Edit lineage.
Flac/shn > wav > Soundforge > wav > Flac (level 8, sector boundary aligned, verified).
With the exception of the introduction for Supper's Ready, all other introductions
are at the end of the preceding songs so that each track starts with the music.
Goody's additional lineage:
TLH (WAV) > Audition (Pitch Bender, various amounts; tracking updated) >
TLH (FLAC Level 8; Align sector boundaries; .ffp) > foobar2000 (tags)

Details on the edit.
BB is from the British Biscuit source (which I believe is an original BBC recording).
GASP is from the authentic soundboard.
Volume corrections have been done using both normalization and volume.
Edit done in Sound Forge.
1. Dance On A Volcano (GASP14 source)
A couple of notes added at the very start (looped from a couple of seconds later)
The volume drop half way through corrected.
Additional clapping from BBC recording.
Faded to ...
2. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (BB source)
3. Fly On A Windshield (BB source)
This file is exactly the same as the pre-Fm source.
4. The Carpet Crawlers (BB source)

5. The Cinema Show (BB source)
Intro edited back in.
6. Robbery Assault And Battery (BB source)

Unfortunately the soundboard does not have the start of the intro, so it is cross faded in.

10. Squonk (GASP14 source)
Both 'Entangled' and 'Squonk' have had their volume lifted to match the BB source.

Goody's notes, or 'The reason we need yet one more edition of this in circulation... this one!'
Ahem -
I set out to find what I believed to be the best presentation of this show in its most
complete form and ran across this brilliantly conceived Best Sources edit. Upon listening to the work of
the gentleperson who compiled and meticulously edited what are unarguably the best available sources -
TM Productions' Pre-FM tracks from the British Biscuit (details above) and the GASP14 Soundboard edition,
my ear told me there was still something missing. A bit more work to be done.
That single but important and notable major issue was that the sources were never precisely in tune -
previously, its only known flaw, imho!
But a serious flaw it was, and it had been pointed out in comments and reviews of those sources
at Genesis-Movement and elsewhere. Serious, in that it needed to be the final icing on this cake.
I have taken the liberty of fixing all of that. Well... someone had to do it! Seriously!
Every one of the tracks as I found them respectively had various amounts of out-of-tune pitch.
Nothing so horrible that had I never taken them into my laboratory and opened each of them up on my
operating table for tweaking that mostly anyone would have noticed or had any lesser enjoyment.
But now everything is put perfectly back in its right place, and, in so doing, a subtle regrooving takes shape
as pitch effects tempo, hence the feel of everything you hear is here and now just as it was intended to be
by master timekeeper and feel-meister Bruford and these other masters at every one of these live shows.
And then, finally, I was transported...
The sound was already gorgeous, and powerful where it needed to be -
Bill Bruford's signature snare at the very beginning of 'Dance On A Volcano' heralding in a change in the Genesis sound;
those bass pedals of Mike Rutherford's when they kicked in, giving me and, no doubt, all of you, goosebumps and grins;
Tony Banks' delicate and textured melodic multi-layered keyboard and compositional genius;
Steve Hackett's, well... simply Steve Hackett - brilliant composer, the most underrated of guitarists, stoic genius that he is!!
And Phil Collins' new frontman responsibilites caused no concern or alarm, as the icon that is Peter Gabriel was no longer 'that guy'.
Phil indeed stepped up as nobody else ever could have. No argument there...
No longer bearing the burden of the huge theatrical construct which Peter brought to the live shows up til now,
it was then and there that the MUSIC needed to be addressed with very little staging and filigree,
in all of its majesty, whimsy, beauty and storytelling, and the perfectly delivered 'Trick Of The Tail' and
'Wind And Wuthering' pair of releases let nobody down, continuing to build on the Genesis legacy. And the
nods to all that came before in their inclusion in the show made it all fit like an old glove.
So, (and hopefully,) now it can be said that this is finally the best presentation of the best overall capture of this, the best show of the tour.
The sound is truly best represented within the updated tracks in this dare I say ultimate edition.
And now, it's in your hands, you lucky devils...
Been an honor and a pleasure bringing it to y'all!
Hopefully, whoever finds this will also find an accompanying art package newly compiled for this definitive edition by ethiessen1.
Thank you very much, sir!
And thanks to all who have provided the musical sources at every step of the long journeys they took before finding me.
