"ORIGINAL" 1969 PROGRESSIVE
FIRST PETER GABRIEL ALBUM
GENESIS
From Genesis To Revelation
USA - (blue & siver) LONDON RECORDS -PS 643
TOP COPY!
So hard to find as clean as this 1969 ORIGINAL = the very first Genesis album
Peter Gabriel's first album...Produced by Jonathan "Everyone's gone to the moon" King, this is basically a songcycle concept lp about God, nature, love and hate. King's brilliant idea to have a glossy black cover with no info had record stores in England placing it in the "religious" section, no one bought it in the long run. The tracks all run into each other by way of tiny keybpard connections or little instrumental bits. Very nice. Peter's voice, though higher pitched and younger sounding, still has the same sound we all love and cherish
All the ingredients of future Genesis album are here: great melody, neat composition. What lacking was probably the complexity as a progressive rock album. It's fine because almost songs are excellent. In The Beginning, Fireside Song, The Serpent and others are all great tracks!
The first full-length release from Genesis, FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION, was recorded while the band were still teenagers in prep school. Highlights include "In The Beginning" which has a nice aggressive feeling in it, with straightforward acoustic guitars, and Peter is doing preachy vocals about the creation of man: "It has begun, you're in the hands of destinyYY!". The track begins with strange organ sound, and is a quite good one really. "The Serpent" continues with the genesis-themed lyrics. There's a very funny chorus going from one single note behind the singing! There are also no orchestrations and some keyboards instead here. "In The Wilderness" is also a great performance, Peter gets to do some powerful singing, and the composition is nice. Electric guitar on 'The Conqueror' stands out from the pastoral psych tones of the whole, while 'One Eyed Hound' closes in swaggering style ..."The Conqueror" has a gospel kind of feeling done by acoustic piano and guitar driving the song, and Peter is again singing about "The day of justice". "Window" has also a very peculiar feeling of The GENESIS sound in it's beginning, though it's a quite dull song otherwise. "Silent Sun" was a minor hit overseas in and sounds like the the charts pick to click

CONDITION: The cover is all black with gold lettering and near impossible after 42 years to find clean, yet, here is a special copy that survived and not only solid all over but clean "EX" (excellent) with just a 'touch' of shelf rub just starting (very minor)...not quite mint but should work well in most collections without upgrade necessary ...no split seams, no bends, no writing...solid
The vinyl both sides retain glossy luster, VG++ having some very light top surface only soft scuffs, minor, play graded excellent zones, all enjoyable....nice. Both labels are clean.
keeper copy!
A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTIBLES!
