Genesis Multi-Track Master Tape Missing; One Song From New 5.1s Will
Not Be In True Surround Sound
According to Nick Davis, Genesis' long-time Producer, the multi-track
master tape for the song "Say It's Alright Joe" from the And
Then There Were Three album is missing. As a result, Davis had to
use "artificial surround" for that song on the 5.1 remix of And
Then There Were Three. If you have any information as to the
whereabouts of the original multi-track master tape, please e-mail
me (I will pass the information on to Nick Davis and Genesis'
management).
