TURN IT ON AGAIN THE HITS -THE TOUR EDITION

A year later from my previous review i decided to own the album i reviewed, but the version released 8 years after. I encourage you to read my previous review as i will attempt to not repeat myself, and i can say that even without reading my previous one, my written sentiments where similar, and somehow, this release sold very well, and similarly to my previous review, i still don't understand why.

While i haven't seen the packaging of the original, this release lists the tour dates and has artwork featuring characters, including a tree, a toy and a hand... other than that, the track listing has no mistakes other than saying "carpet crawlers 99 original version from 1974" which is not incorrect but i would've liked them adding a nod to the previous release. I still wanted the packaging to feature images of the singles and something more, so in general is very boring, specially compared to something like Archive 2.

Ok, about the music, they tried to cram everything in except From Genesis To Revelation, but also, they skipped Foxtrot, the lady with the fox head is in the artwork but there's nothing from that album. The songs have the same problems i listed on my previous review, but also, they decided to add a cut version of The Knife (no pun intended), and the audio of this release is louder, than the original releases of these track, because they are the 2007 remaster version except for Abacab that sounds like it was taken from the video.

Honestly, the intent behind this album could've been great if they added every single together with their artworks and what not, but then they added incomplete EPs and not all the singles released by Genesis are included so this release is a disorganized mess that on this day an age barely has any appeal. I truly believe that Genesis should do a proper singles compilation release and then do a full on B-sides release, that would be awesome, but as it stands, i can't recommend this album, however its an improvement from the previous one, and Genesis decided to re-release the previous one with the excuse of never being released on Vinyl, i feel like this one can be 2 stars but not my previous review that i need to update for the newest release.
