raymond burr was NOT in genesis at the time of that recording.
he came in later to cover on the drums when mr collins started singing
live ;0)


speaking of "watcher..."
i have a "famous charisma label" sampler album [i think it's the
"5th anniversary" of the label] that has a VERY different sounding
mix of "watcher" on it... anyone know the history of this possibly
alternate version? i have not listened to it in years, but i know
it sounds rather different than the final album mix... i'll have
to dig it out and listen more carefully to try and spot specific
sonic differences...
