GENESIS - Studio Rarities 1967-1973 - Rare Singles, Outtakes & Demo Tracks - EU Sweet Leaf Limited Edition - VERY RARE- LISTEN

An attractively packaged, limited compilation of rare recordings from early singles and demo tapes, recorded in 1967-1973. This nearly 80-minute CD contains all the known/available recordings made by the earliest Genesis (Gabriel/Banks/Rutherford/Phillips/Silver) up to the debut LP "From Genesis To Revelation", including the excellent, unreleased "Build Me A Mountain", which would probably have been the best track on the debut! In addition, the original single vinyl mixes of recordings such as "Twilight Alehouse", "Happy The Man" and a shortened version (with an alternative ending) of "Watcher Of The Skies" are included. There is also room for two demo versions with drummer John Mayhew, from August 1969: "Going Out To Get You" and "Dusk". All the recordings were professionally recorded and sound simply excellent! Please also note the very attractive, fantastical cover by Paul Whitehead (creator of the covers for "Trespass", "Nursery Cryme" and "Foxtrot") + several rare photos, including one showing Genesis in the company of the Italian trio Le Orme (in 1972)!!! An absolute must for prog rock fans! (JL)
