News is out that Genesis' opus The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is getting the super deluxe 50th anniversary (which was earlier this week) treatment with a massive box set out in March. A remastering will surely make it sound wonderful, assuming it isn't compressed to the gills, and an Atmos remix is a glorious proposition.
A live version of it is included but it's the same show that was included in 1998's Genesis Archive 1967–75 and that had contemporary overdubs which need to go away. At least the encores will be included this time.
And there is a trio of demos to be had as well on a "download card" - not sure what that is. There are hours of demos/rehearsals from the Headley Grange sessions that produced the album out in trading circles. Highlights for me are a 12 minute version of "Fly On a Windshield" and 23 minutes of the band working on "The Waiting Room". Plus there are various instrumentals whose music was never utilized and so on.
I am waiting on more specifics before making the decision to buy or not.
