Genesis Archive 1967–75 is a 1998 boxed set by progressive rock band Genesis.
This set features live recordings and rarities from when Peter Gabriel was the lead singer. The first two of the four discs consist of a previously unreleased (except for "The Waiting Room", issued as a 7" b-side in 1974) live recording of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway from 1975. The remaining discs contain performances from an unreleased live concert from London's Rainbow Theatre in 1973, demos, rare single tracks and 1970 BBC Sessions. All 52 tracks (besides the last 3 on disc 3 and track 2 from disc 2) had been previously unreleased. The entire set is arranged in reverse chronological order.
Some of Peter Gabriel's vocals on the live recordings were re-recorded by the singer in 1998 due to technical problems with the recording as well as elaborate costumes that often muffled his voice.[1] Guitarist Steve Hackett re-recorded some guitar parts as well.[1]
Genesis Archive 1967–75 reached No. 35 in the UK.

"Broadway Melody of 1974" is intended to begin with the line "Echoes of the Broadway Everglades", but instead the instrumental break at the end of the song is the only thing included in the CD index for that track.

Genesis Archive #2: 1976–1992 is a 2000 boxed set by veteran progressive rock/pop band Genesis. This retrospective covers the band's history while Phil Collins was lead singer.
The three discs consist of live recordings (mostly previously unreleased, with a few that had been B-sides), 12" remixes, a "work-in-progress" jam, non-album B-sides, and tracks from the Spot the Pigeon and 3X3 EPs. There was a minor backlash from hardcore fans as "Match of the Day" and "Me and Virgil" were left off the set (although both had been released on CD before) due to Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford disliking the former track while Phil Collins disliked the latter one. (Less talked about was the fact that "Submarine" and "It's Yourself", neither of which had been released on CD otherwise, were both edited versions—the former due to master damage, the latter due to the band's preference. "Submarine" was later released in its unedited form on Genesis 1976–1982.)
Genesis Archive 2: 1976–1992 reached No. 103 in the UK.
