| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
YES you read this correctly this is the MONO version that is almost mythical for it's rarity value...
BACKGROUND
From Genesis to Revelation was the first album by Genesis released in March 1969 on Decca Records in England. Produced by Jonathan King, who discovered them back in 1967 while the members of Genesis were pupils at Charterhouse School.
The LP originally featured the original line up of Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Anthony Phillips. Once one of their demo tapes caught the attention of Jonathan King he took them under his wing. After replacing Chris Stewart with John Silver on drums, Genesis' producer had them compose an album's worth of songs loosely based on the Bible.
This slightly pretentious venture was cut in August 1968 - while the boys were on school holidays - and later overdubbed with strings, much to the band's chagrin. This concept album with no gaps in between the tracks is a stsement of their sound at that time, which changed radically in later years.
From Genesis To Revelation was issued in a black sleeve with its title scribed in gothic gold on the top lefthand side. With little else to go by, the record shops stacked the LP in the religious sections and it was consequently impossible to find. Its initial sales tally was an embarrassing 600 copies
Other than being part of the album title, the band's name was omitted from the sleeve because Decca had recently discovered an obscure American act also calling itself Genesis, and asked the band to consider changing its name to avoid confusion. (They obviously never did)
CONDITION
As previously stated the condition of the laminated sleeve is excellent with just a few laminate lifts, ringwear and creasing with mild foxing on the rear, however the vinyl is in STUNNING MINT condition [Quite probably the best we have ever seen] with only a couple of spindle marks to ever indicate any play with NO marks, sratches or wear which is almost impossible for a nearly forty year old LP.
The lyric inner is MINT as is the original disc inner bag.
This LP is of top investment quality grade which will only increase in value as one of the standout rarities of the period and the most in demand Genesis rarity.
YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED.
