Here's a ONCE IN A LIFETIME chance for all Genesis fans:

a first pressing of the SUPER RARE 2lp "Live at Leicester" by GENESIS as released on Philips in 1973 ONLY in Holland. (j)

This is NOT a bootleg. These records belong to the estate of a former record company executive. Genuine.

Here's part of the story of this ULTRA RARITY take from genesismuseum.com:

It is well-known that when the Genesis live album was finally released in 1973 that it was a single LP. It was also amazing that the best and most ambitious track Supper's Ready was not included. For many years, rumors surfaced that a double-LP version was leaked as a test pressing on the Dutch Philips label. However, none had ever been seen. Bootlegs claiming to be copies of these test pressings were eventually made, but the test pressings themselves were almost impossible to find. Some say between 20 and 50 copies were pressed, but to this day I have only heard of about 7.

The test pressings have 4 sides with handwritten labels as shown but no album cover. Since they were done by hand, each label is a little different. The matrix numbers on the vinyl are AA 6830 140 1Y 1 670 1, 2, 3, and 4. On the included cue sheet, the sides are referred to as 6830.140.1/2 & 6830.141.1/2. The cue sheets also show that all tracks were recorded in Leicester on February 25th except Return of the Giant Hogweed which was recorded in Manchester on February 24th.

These test pressings are the single most valuable and sought after Genesis record. One of the main reasons is that it includes recordings that exist only on this record. Also the extreme rarity of the record increases the value. Although they only come up for sale very rarely, the prices I have seen range from $1750-$2250.
