In November 2006 Banks, Rutherford, and Collins announced they were reforming Genesis for the 2007 Turn It On Again Tour. The announcement coincided with the release of three box sets containing digital remasters of the band's studio output across 2007 by EMI Records, containing new stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes by producer and engineer Nick Davis.{{cite web|url=https://www.uncut.co.uk/news/genesis-reform-to-play-the-world-65199|title=Genesis Reform To Play The World|date=7 November 2006|work=Uncut|access-date=28 March 2019}}

In the European and Japanese releases of this box set, the CDs are hybrid SACD/CDs. The SACD layer is a multichannel surround sound remix.[https://web.archive.org/web/20070305211040/http://www.genesis-news.com/genesis/reviews/sacds/1976-1982.htm Formats described at]

In the Canadian and U.S. releases of this box set, standard CDs with no SACD layer are included.Explained in interview with producer and remixer Nick Davis, at [https://web.archive.org/web/20070206065609/http://www.genesis-news.com/genesis/reviews/sacds/interview-with-nick-davis.htm]

In all versions of the box set, the DVDs are DVD-Video format (not DVD-Audio), although they contain both audio and video tracks. These DVDs include three audio mixes: DTS 5.1-channel surround sound, Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound, and Dolby Digital stereo.The DVD interface has two audio choices: Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1. If the Dolby 5.1 option is chosen on a system that does not support surround sound, the Dolby stereo mix is played. The DTS surround sound is a slightly compressed version of the surround sound on the SACDs,Explained in interview with producer and remixer Nick Davis, at [https://web.archive.org/web/20070206065609/http://www.genesis-news.com/genesis/reviews/sacds/interview-with-nick-davis.htm] and the Dolby surround sound is a slightly inferior quality to the DTS.Comparison from Sound and Vision magazine article online at http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/musicreviews/2285/genesis-in-surround.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081004204137/http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/musicreviews/2285/genesis-in-surround.html |date=4 October 2008 }}

In November 2012, a 6LP Vinyl Boxset was issued in the United Kingdom. It features the 2007 remasters on 180g platters.

All of the audio tracks on these CDs were remixed in stereo and surround sound by producer Nick Davis, with the sole exception of "Say It's Alright Joe", which was not remixed because the band was unable to locate the multitrack recordings.[https://web.archive.org/web/20070305211040/http://www.genesis-news.com/genesis/reviews/sacds/1976-1982.htm Explained at]
