Not in the band when I was involved (long after my time; I specialize in starting, naming, finding and producing NEW acts) but it's all great publicity for sales of their back catalogue.

Likewise, this Christmas - I suggest a terrific new 10cc Box Set would be a lovely present for intelligent music lovers.

And JK's own collections are available through Amazon, iTunes and other reputable dealers. I would think Earth To King, which comes with 100 DVD Quick Time movies covering most of my life, would be indispensible for anyone caring about 50 years of music.

How many Hackett fans are there these days? There'd surely still be room left if they all gathered together in a phone box.

The guy deserves credit. Genesis are unlikely to do anything again and Hackett's contribution is good for the audience that appreciates them.

Can only be good for back catalogue sales too.
