The group started as Genesis, biblical centuries ago. But fate intervened, other groups became Genesis and who were we to fight. So we changed our name in America to Revelation. Moments later up came another Revelation. Now we are the group without a name, but we have a record and we want to give it to you, name or not. It was a hard sound to get together, conceived over a period of months, with rainbows of music colour filtering through the glass partition on to the sliding faders and echo knobs, searching for the pot of gold. From Genesis to Revelation. Sporadic moments in between; thoughts of a very young group looking shortly back and far forward, over the grey mountains of time shrouded in the mist of harmony. We hope you will find no one to compare it with, not because we don’t want to be compared, but because there are better things to do. We hope you won’t find it pretentious or humourless because it was intended to be neither. It was intended to be just very pleasant. Melodic, unusual, containing what is natural and genuine. Sometimes, before the hard age of flitting teens, shapes are sharper, patterns clearer, ideas more simple and statements more crystal. Sometimes, indeed, wrongly so. Sometimes rightly. Always, in truth, interesting and valid as an experience for the senses, for the mind. Those years between fifteen and twenty. No longer boy or girl, not yet man or woman. Confused by the bright light of age, remembering the hazy mellowness of youth. Years when one tries to go back, forwards, upwards, downwards- never to remain static, at peace in growing up. Listen and cast your mind into the sound spectrum. Hear what you hear – smile and enjoy, from the beginning to the end, from Genesis to Revelation.
The Group: PETER GABRIEL ANTHONY PHILlPS ANTHONY BANKS MICHAEL RUTHERFORD JOHN SILVER
Brian Roberts and Tom Allom sat patient behind the controls, with Jonathan King who screamed, occasionally had fits and attempted not to turn white-haired. Arthur Greenslade and Lou Warburton added echoey string and wind instruments with skill and gentleness.

Here are some of the many variations on Genesis’ first album. Even though the music has been rereleased many times, several of these are quite rare. This is a general list of the rereleases. For an absolute insanely complete list, click here . It has to be the single largest FGTR related collection
