BB & Q band US 85 Note: The album was released on several labels both in 85 and 86 and with different album covers. The first release in 85 was recorded at the Morning studios in Milan and featured in Europe a red cover (top) on some issues and a blue cover on other issues (left; click for a bigger view). On that issue Petrus was both the producer (with Kay Williams) and execuitive producer. According to the second release in 86 however Earl Monroe was the executive producer and Kay Williams the producer. The album was also recorded in the Castle studios in Milan instead of Morning studios in Milan. The second release must obviously have been edited and released after Petrus death in 86. The cover of the US release in 86 was also completely different in its design than the European releases, actually it looked awful. Why Genie was recorded and/or edited in two different locations is unknown, even though it's not unusual to release different editions of the same record.
