Anthony was a founding member of Genesis alongside Peter Gabriel, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks with whom he recorded the albums 'From Genesis To Revelation' and 'Trespass'. After leaving the group in 1970, Anthony studied orchestration and harmony externally at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. He marked his return to the commercial music scene with the release of his debut solo album 'The Geese & The Ghost' in 1977 and continued to create a large and diverse output as a recording artist. Anthony is known for the successful series of the 'Private Parts & Pieces' albums. Beginning in 1978 the first four volumes featured an extensive range of music recorded for various projects (going as far back as 1972) and came to be regarded by fans as essential collections of his wide and diverse compositional work.
In 2018 Anthony Phillips and Jonathan Dann compiled this four disc deluxe set, which gathered together 'Volumes IX to XI' of the 'Private Parts & Pieces' albums, 'Dragonfly Dreams', 'Soiree' and 'City of Dreams'. Importantly, the set also added an additional 18-track CD of previously unreleased material, 'Private Parts and Extra Pieces III', featuring recordings made between 1991 and 2012. This additional CD was far from being a loose collection of unreleased recordings but was a carefully curated album which should be seen as an additional volume in the 'Private Parts & Pieces' series, making this box set a definitive collection of these classic albums. The set includes a booklet with an essay by Jonathan Dann and fully restores the artwork of the original releases.
