From Genesis to Revelation was the first album by Genesis, released in March
1969 on Decca Records in England (London Records in North America). It was
produced by Jonathan King, who discovered them in 1967 while the members
of Genesis were pupils at Charterhouse School, King's alma mater as well.

Upon their inception in early 1967, Genesis originally consisted of Peter
Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, and Anthony Phillips, sans a drummer.
Once one of their demo tapes caught the attention of Jonathan King, he took
them under his wing and - with the addition of schoolmate Chris Stewart on
drums - recorded "The Silent Sun" as their first single. It was later described
by the band as a "Bee Gees pastiche" to win King's approval. Its February
1968 release on Decca Records - where The Rolling Stones were contracted
at the time - was not a commercial success. Neither was the follow-up "A
Winter's Tale" three months later. Undeterred, King decided that Genesis
would be best heard on LP. After replacing Chris Stewart with John Silver on
drums, Genesis' producer had them compose an album's worth of songs
loosely based on the Bible. This venture was cut in August 1968 - while the
boys were on school holidays - and later overdubbed with strings and horns,
much to the band's chagrin. King also sequenced the songs together like a
concept album, with no gaps in between the tracks.

The music on From Genesis To Revelation sounds very little like what Genesis
would produce even two years later. When this album was recorded in 1968,
the ages of the band members ranged from 16 to 18, and none of them
considered themselves proficient musicians as they had hardly any studio
experience. Still, the band feels that there were some very good tracks and
that they already had a knack for melody, even in these embryonic
times. Tony Banks has often hailed "In The Wilderness" as the album's
standout track, despite the intrusive strings
