Looking Back - Living the Years is a new 16-track collection culling from nearly every one of Genesis co-founder Mike Rutherford's albums with side project Mike + The Mechanics, for which he is the sole consistent member. (Every one of the band's many vocalists will be represented on the set.) Marking 40 years since the group's self-titled debut in 1985 - the same year Genesis bandmate Phil Collins' own solo career attained critical mass with No Jacket Required - Living the Years is the first Mechanics release as part of a new Rutherford catalogue deal with Concord's Craft Recordings imprint, who purchased the publishing and recorded rights of Rutherford, Collins and Tony Banks (as well as their trio work as Genesis) in 2022. The set hits CD and digital formats on March 14, with a 2LP set to follow April 4.  As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.​
