GENESIS, 'In The Beginning' (Mercury, 1968)

First press original with the textured cover of this interesting L.A.’s trio’s lone album, featuring Jack Ttanna, formerly of garage greats, the Sons Of Adam.  Here’s how Aaron Milenski of the Acid Archives describes it:

Most of this album is pretty typical post Jefferson Airplane co-ed psych/folk-rock, better than most but not exactly stunning. But they really shine on the 16-minute blowout on side two, which follows up a few haunting verses with a long guitar solo that's exactly the opposite of what you'd expect: it's carefully constructed, like a set of short guitar solos and repeated hooks strung together rather than one long jam. Not a note of it appears to be improvised. It's not at all complicated, but that means that no time is wasted showing off, and it ends up being one of the best long solos you'll hear. The rest of the album pretty much pales in comparison, but for the one song alone it's worth owning. [AM]

I rate this record slightly higher than Aaron does.  ‘Girl Who Never Was’ and ‘Ten Second Song’ are both fine psych tracks.  DON’T MISS OUT!

CONDITION:  VG- (bottom seam coming unglued – small cover rip to bottom corner) / VG+ (small scratches on Side 1 – no skips – Side 2 EX)  (Photo is stock)
