Scenario I

How many times have you decided to sit back and listen to the May 2, 1975 Hippodrome Lamb show, looked at your shelf, perplexed, seeing four different versions sitting there, all incomplete. You stare, unwilling at your vast collection of Genesis material and wonder why it is that nobody has ever consolidated these recordings into one complete and consise show. You ask yourself,

"Should I listen to Swelled and Spent on the turntable, knowing I'm suffering from inferior sound and missing encores?"

"Should I listen to my audience tape, which sounds pretty good, but is irreverantly missing a segment of the second story?"

"Should I listen to either of these other 'commercial' releases"

While wondering the whole time why someone, who probably doesn't even like Genesis that much is making money of selling these shows and contributing to capitalising of our very souls. And then in dispair you put the recordings back on the shelf and go sit in front of the T.V. to watch re-runs of Punky Brewster.

Scenario II

How many times have you wanted to listen to a classic Genesis performance, looked at your shelf and seen only 15 different pressings of ABACAB. You know there are people out there with great live recordings, passed down for generations, yet somehow you are denied access.

Why is this? You look into your wallet and notice that you still have $60 you took out of the ATM machine days ago. You then look into your pantry to see that is bare while your cat glares at you pathetically in front of her empty food bowl. You consider walking down to the Hidden Record to see if they have any newly released Highland recordings, knowing that they will be coming from inferior masters and that you are contributing the the capitalization of our very souls. How you WISH you had a copy of the May 2, 1975 Hippodrome Lamb show, but you just can't break into the trading circles, with nothing to offer.

You consider ordering from some shady internet guy, highly overpriced, not knowing what you'll get, or when you'll get it. In despair, you plop your self down in front of the T.V. and watch re-runs of Punky Brewster.

Solution:

Regardless of which of the above two scenarios you fall under, FAde is for you!

FAde was imagined by one who fell under Scenario I. There are simply too many recordings of some shows, and nobody should have to sustain the agonizing choice of which one to listen to, knowing that each one of them will disappoint. FAde seeks to reconstruct, from the highest grade masters possible, COMPLETE shows. You will never again have to choose between four different versions with hideous sounding titles. With FAde, the choice is clear.

FAde is also designed to cater to the needs of those who fall under scenario II. We've all been there. FAde is an example of musical socialism. No true fan should be denied the opportunity to listen to a classic Genesis performance simply because he or she cannot afford to purchase overly priced, illegal bootlegs, because they do not have access to these recordings because of where they live or the current status of their collections. This type of thing should be done BY fans FOR fans, not by corporations for profit.

FAde IS A NON-PROFIT PROGRAM. IF YOU PARTICIPATE YOU AGREE ***NEVER*** TO CHARGE NOR ACCEPT ANY PAYMENT FOR THESE EDITIONS.
