FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION

Far from a success back when it was released in March 1969 selling only 650 copies worldwide and mostly by christians, obviously because of the album title. This is a collection of short and folk influenced pop songs with a very young Peter Gabriel on vocal. Awful production and completely unnecessary string arrangements on nearly every track ruins this album for me. And the drums are nearly inaudible!

I picked up the Disky edition for a few bucks mainly because Im a Genesis fan. Listening to this and then follow it with 'Trespass' is quite a leap really, but Im forever thankful they went that direction instead. Not essential by any means but a nice enough item for fans. Loads of demo tracks from this album is also avalable on the 'Genesis Archive 67-75' boxset for those who would like them as well.
