GENESIS - BBC Sessions 1970 ('Night Ride' Session + 'Genesis Plays Jackson' Tape) - FRA Verne Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RARE

A revelation! This is a new and improved version of the LP "Going Out To Get You", released 10 years ago (the first album produced by the Verne label) and at the same time the missing link between the debut LP "From Genesis To Revelation" and the brilliant "Trespass"! A fan club, collectors' and attractively released LP limited to 500 copies, containing 52 minutes of superb music by Genesis in the line-up with the guitarist Anthony Phillips and the drummer John Mayhew (that is, still before the era of Hackett and Collins), recorded in January and February 1970. It was a very creative period in the band's career, since the shy pop-psychedelic band suddenly transformed into a thoroughbred, progressive band with a unique, slightly folky sound. This wonderful LP contains two sessions for the BBC: from January 1970 (four tracks found after 35 years from a tape labelled "Genesis Plays Jackson" - originally recorded with a documentary film about a British painter in mind and included only on the expensive, 13-disc CD/SACD box set "1970-1975") and from February 1970 (five recordings, including early versions of "Stagnation" and "Looking For Someone" and three unique titles not released on the band's classic albums!). As a bonus a very rare demo track (by Phillips and Rutherford) from the autumn of 1969 has been added - previously unreleased on vinyl! The sound quality is ideal - even better than on the older, quiet version, and the pressing much better than the somewhat hissy old version ('Going Out To Get You') which came from a very mediocre pressing plant. The almost fairy-tale, fully laminated cover contains several rare photographs and reproductions of unique memorabilia. A MUST! Condition: MINT (NEW, but unsealed).
