Genesis and Peter Gabriel grace the cover of the new issue of Prog, which is on sale now!

If there's one reunion prog fans have hankered for for the past 40 years now it would most likely be Genesis reuniting with Peter Gabriel and performing a set of 70s Genesis material. It did happen. Once. In October 1982, and it's sadly never been repeated. But this issue, as it celebrates its 40th anniversary, we present the inside story of Six Of The Best, when Gabriel, Steve Hackett and Genesis reunited at Milton Keynes Bowl for an evening of prog nirvana.

Also with the new issue there are four Genesis postcards and a 17-track sampler from White Knight Records featuring Tiger Moth Tales, Alan Reed, Last Flight To Pluto, Red Bazar and loads more...
