    The sounds of ideas forming, Volume 2 Alan Dunn, 22 July 2019 The Crushed This is the Waste Recycling Centre in Bidston, Wirral, and it’s been on my mind a lot recently no matter how I try to forget it. Maybe writing this will clear some of it up - we’ll find out in the last few paragraphs. In 2013 I threw half of my record collection away into those skips. Plastic in one, sleeves in another. I didn’t donate to a charity shop, sell on Discogs, give to a friend nor give to you, dear reader and probable record collector. They aren’t put in storage, but inconceivably crushed. At the time, I probably have around 1,000 discs and make choices to keep about 500. As we are packing to move home quickly, I make two piles and discard those records that have done nothing for me and that I’m sure I won’t listen to again. I reject expensive discs that have let me down with their lack of magic. I get rid of a lot of crap bought in charity shops and shit that I haven’t even listened to more than once. Or not even once. Why think back to it then, if it was only dross that got culled? After getting the vinyl bug back again in 2016, it’s inevitable that I recall those weeks. And since beginning The sounds of idea forming, Volume 2 on Instagram in July 2018, I begin to wonder if my confession may make interesting reading for the community out there, so please stay with me because there are methods behind the madness.

  • Get 'Em out by Friday the Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction
    Genesis: Get ‘Em Out By Friday The Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction Depending on where one looks for the information, the original release dates of Genesis singles and albums are often misreported. This article uses several sources, including music paper cuttings, websites and books, to try and determine the most likely release date in the UK for their officially released product issued between 1968 and 1978. For a detailed analysis to be completed beyond 1978 will require the input of others that know that era far better than I with the resources to examine it in appropriate levels of detail. My own collection of source material essentially runs dry after 1978. As most people searching for release dates are likely to go to Wikipedia that is where this search for the truth behind Genesis’ back catalogie. The dates claimed on Wikipedia would themselves have come from a number of sources referenced by contributors over the years but what these references lack is the evidence to back up their claims. This article aims to either confirm or disprove these dates with the added bonus of citing where this information stems from. It’s not without a fair share of assumptions and educated deductions but it offers more on this subject than any previously published piece. The main sources consulted in the writing of this article are as follows: 1. The Genesis File Melody Maker 16 December 1972 2. Genesis Information Newsletter Issue No. 1 October 1976 3. Wax Fax by Barry Lazzell - a series of articles on Genesis releases published in Sounds over several weeks in 1977 4.
