GENESIS 'Brief' BIOGRAPHY:

**The Genesis of the Seventies was a very different group from the Genesis of the Eighties and the Nineties - although not as different as some people would like to think.**

**Most of those who picked up on Genesis during the Eighties as their succession of hits encircled the globe had only the haziest idea of what had gone before. “In the later years there were people coming to our concerts who didn’t know I played drums,” laughs Phil Collins.**

**And perversely, many of those who joined the band’s fervent cult following during the first half of the Seventies fell away as their popularity increased. “That happens with every band once you become successful,” says Mike Rutherford philosophically. “It’s just the way it goes.”**

**Mike Rutherford and fellow founder member Tony Banks are the continuous link between their albums, appearing on every one. Phil Collins is missing from ‘The Knife’ and ‘Calling All Stations’ but he makes up for it in between. Indeed, the triumvirate of Banks, Collins and Rutherford was Genesis for two thirds of the band’s career.**

**But while the personnel changed and the music altered over 30 years, there was an attitude about Genesis that has remained constant. “I think the spirit of the way we wrote never really changed,” says Phil Collins.**

**Tony Banks is more specific. “We’ve always liked something to be distinctive about a song, even a simple song. There is usually an element of quirkiness about a Genesis song and that’s important to us.”
Songwriting is not just important to Genesis. It is what Genesis are about.**

**There is not one song on their 15 studio albums that has not been written by group members. “A lot of our older fans think that Genesis should be a brand name for progressive rock or whatever,” says Phil. “But actually Genesis is the name for a group of songwriters who have always done whatever we’ve felt like doing under that banner.”**

EDITORIAL REVIEWS & PRODUCT PRESENTATION:

**Following the upgrade of the Genesis catalog with three comprehensive boxed sets of their entire studio output (plus bonus DVDs), Rhino brings the legendary band's early era back to its vinyl origins in style.**

**Presented on 180 gram audiophile vinyl, the six-LP boxed set GENESIS: 1970-1975 features five landmark albums from the group's seminal Peter Gabriel-fronted era: Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England By The Pound and the double concept LP The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.**

**Collected in a handsome, protective slipcase box, each of the five albums comes in its own heavyweight gatefold sleeve featuring the classic cover art faithfully reproduced from its original source.**

**The set contains some of the band s most adventurous albums and chronicles Gabriel's groundbreaking tenure as frontman for Genesis, one of the top-selling recording acts of all time.**

The Musical Box, Part III
November 23, 2008
By Alan Caylow:

**So, we finally come to it at last: the third & final Genesis box set in the band's box set trilogy. And this time, we're going all the way back to the band's beginning! "Genesis 1970-1975" is the Peter Gabriel era, the early days of the band when Phil Collins stayed behind the drumkit (or, in the case of "Trespass," wasn't even in the band yet), and Peter Gabriel was the frontman, dressing up in all of his wild, wacky costumes.**

**Five albums included here: "Trespass," "Nursery Cryme," "Foxtrot," "Selling England By The Pound," and "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway," all remastered and remixed by producer Nick Davis, with lots of fantastic early concert footage, and insightful interviews with the various bandmembers, recorded in 2007 (NOTE: the group's 1969 debut album, "From Genesis To Revelation," is not included in the box set for legal reasons).**

**All five Genesis albums featured here are 5-star classics in my book, and the sound quality and remixing on all of them is nothing short of superb (thank you, Nick Davis!).**

**Like the two Genesis box sets before it, Davis has once again brought the vocals more up front, as well as some of the instrumentation, so you can now hear notes & passages played & sung that were previously buried. "The Lamb," in particular, is a whole new album! I heard stuff on this new version of "The Lamb" that I've *never* heard before (there's even a few more seconds added to Mike Rutherford's mystic strumming on "Fly On A Windshield"---I never knew the track had been edited!).**

It's like going back in time 35 years, but better...

By Kelley Kenison:

**For those who aren't familiar with Genesis prior to "Mama" and "Invisible Touch" (or even "Follow You, Follow Me"): there was a time (1970-1975) when they were the most original progressive rock band around. During this time they were fronted by lead singer/flautist/bass drummer Peter Gabriel; whose throaty voice and mind-blowing costumes only enhanced the already incredible music being created by Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, and (as of "Nursery Cryme") Steve Hackett and Phil Collins.**

**This boxed album set contains new vinyl versions of the Peter Gabriel-era Genesis: "Trespass", "Nursery Cryme", "Foxtrot", "Selling England By The Pound", and what many consider their masterwork: the 2-disc album "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway". I have had all these albums since they first came out (and of course they are now in shreds from hundreds of playing plus the fact that I was a teenager at the time).**

**So why not just get the CDs and be happy? I do have the CDs. I thought I was happy. Then I heard about this boxed set, and what intrigued me even more than the 180 gram audiophile vinyl, the half-speed mastering, and the near-exact recreation of the albums covers and artwork, was the fact that they were not just re-mastered, they were re-mixed! Nick Davis, a well-known prog-rock engineer, actually re-created these albums from their multi-track reels.**

**How do they sound? Incredible, for the most part. For one thing, you can hear the drums! The original albums had, more often than I liked, shoved Phil's drumming toward the back. His drumming was one of the things that made this stuff so great, so having it clear and up front is wonderful.**

**Aside from that, there are a handful of places where a slightly different effect, like a reverb or delay, was used; not sure if these were artistic decisions or if the original effect was no longer available. Having heard these albums so many times, it's easy to hear when something has been changed. But overall, say 98% of the time, I'm happy with the changes. For those I don't, well, it's all a matter of taste, right?**

**Anyway, it's like taking a trip back to my teens putting on this vinyl (and hearing no crackles) and listening to the most amazing prog-rock of its time recaptured on its original media. I'll be enjoying these records for years to come.**
