Now a collector's item, the concept album, inspired by the 1969 Moon landing, didn't quite send the group rocketing to fame, but it did start the countdown for Collins' giant leap into Genesis in the summer of 1970. Before that, however, he was the one-man engine room for Flaming Youth, whose touring schedule took them to Europe on more than one occasion before the group disbanded, resulting in some of Collins' earliest known recorded live performances.\u003c\/p\u003e  Featuring Ark 2 highlights such as Earthglow, Weightless and Space Child, plus an epic performance of selections from Gustav Holst's The Planets suite, these shows, recorded for broadcast by the flagship TV channels ORTF, in Paris, France; TROS in Hilversum, the Netherlands; and WDR in K?ln, Germany, point the way to the sky-scraping music Collins would soon be recording with Genesis, filling an important gap in British prog-rock history.","brand":"FM","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50786002272587,"sku":"2016615","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_6d4524ff_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1731099397"},{"product_id":"ark-2-4","title":"Ark 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eArk 2\u003c\/i\u003e is the only studio album by the short lived British rock band Flaming Youth.
