Background: From Genesis To Revelations was the first Album by Genesis released in March 1969 on the Decca Label.                      Produced by Jonathan King, who discovered them back in 1967 , while the members of Genesis were  pupils                     at Charterhouse School.
                    The LP featured the original line up: Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Anthony Phillips & John Silver.                     The Album was recorded in August 1968 - While the boys were on school holidays and later over dubbed with strings and wind                     instruments arranged by Arthur Greenslade and Lou Warburton. Brian Roberts and Tom Allom the engineers  while Jonathan                      King produced the Album. 
                    From Genesis To Revelations was issued in a black sleeve with its title scribed in gothic gold on the top left and side.                     The Album Sleeve Did Not Make Any Mention Of The Groups Name.                     With little else to go by, the record shops placed the Album in the Religious Section .
