Genesis were at the forefront of the British progressive rock scene for many years prior to their rise to international superstars of Adult Oriented Rock. From humble beginnings at Charterhouse public school, singer Peter Gabriel introduced a theatric presentation to the Genesis repertoire, with complex stage costumes, enigmatic storytelling between songs and inventive and distinctive lyrics. The musicans in the band, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett added an amazing array of highly original soundtracks for Gabriel to act out his fantasy characters, night after night on tour to adulatory fans. Paul Russell has interviewed past and present band members, and collected together the existing live tapes of as many of these early gigs as he could locate, to document the fascinating evolution of one of Britain's most successful bands. He has also contacted fans, collectors, collaborators, and most importantly, the archives of the Genesis-owned Farm Studios where the tapes from the mixing desks from the majority of the early shows are archived. With the full co-operation of the Genesis management team, and their extensive collection of photographs and memorabilia, Paul Russell has put together the definitive guide to Genesis from Charterhouse schooldays to The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
