Seconds Out released on the 21st October 1977 recorded in Paris, Palais des Sports, 11–14 June 1977
This album’s version of “I Know What I Like” includes excerpts from “Stagnation” and “Visions Of Angels” (Trespass), “Dancing With the Moonlit Knight” (Selling England by the Pound) and “Blood On The Rooftops” (Wind & Wuthering).
A digitally remastered version was released on CD in 1994 on Virgin in Europe and on Atlantic in the US and Canada. Both this and the earlier UK CD edition mistrack the transition from ‘Dance On A Volcano’ to ‘Los Endos’ a few minutes late.
(The original LP banded them together as one track) The version included in the “Genesis Live 1973–2007” box set corrects this error. Longtime Genesis producer Nick Davis completed a 5.1 remix of this and other Genesis live albums which were released as a box set in September 2009.
