Description
Artist: Genesis
Title: ..From Genesis to Revelation
Details: - Rare UK Original `Blue Label` Stereo Issue on `Thick Vinyl` and what`s more it is in `Top Condition` with Beautiful `Robert Stace` Front laminated `Clarefoil` Black sleeve : Matrix/Run out Grooves ZAL-8839.P-1W / ZAL-8840 P-2W Mother Stampers 1H/2BH
Rarity:- The really early heavy pressings are hard to find, especially in this condition.
Trivia: 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. Its initial sales tally was 650 copies. The band's name was omitted from the sleeve because Decca had recently discovered that an obscure American act was also calling itself Genesis and asked the band to consider changing its name to avoid confusion, which King declined. The American "Genesis" in question was likely the LA-based group that released an LP called In The Beginning on the Mercury label in 1967.,or it may have been an even more obscure R&B band, also using the name Genesis, in Massachusetts.
Music: King had them compose an album of songs loosely based on the Bible. The album was recorded in August 1968 during school holidays. King sequenced the songs together like a concept album, with no gaps in between the tracks.
