A very interesting issue, especially the bonus LP with their earliest recorded work. A must for any devoted Genesis fan. Good sound quality and noiseless discs. The Mono version, when played with a mono stylus is an engaging listen and the inclusion of the singles and the Singles, Demoes & Rarities LP is a great addition. Unless you happen to be one of the very lucky few, to own an original 1969 Decca 1st press, this is a very recommended buy (And even then you would still have to hunt down the singles, not to mention the Singles, Demoes & Rarities LP).

This pressing sounds fantastic especially for holding so much music on each side

I used to have this 1972 release (sold it years ago) and it actually did come with a color-coded inner sleeve. Will add my sale photos to this page now.

This is the perfect version to get if you want to listen to a child molester go on-and-on for 22 minutes about how great and important he was.

An interesting version, the cover is slightly smaller (1/4") than a standard LP jacket. Reproduces the original album insert w/lyrics on the inner sleeve. Laden with syrupy orchestration, sounds a little like early Bee Gees with a bit of a 60s psych hangover. Definitely an artistic misstep, but If you're in the right mood, it can be fun to hear the young band's ambitions on tracks like "In The Beginning" and "The Serpent" butting up against the overproduction. The swelling harmonies of "Silent.Sun" hint at what's to come with next album Tres. No complaints about this pressing, the vinyl is quiet and the master is nice, loud and expressive.

This is a nice reissue with lyrics and original artwork on the inner sleeve. I have done an A/B comparison, and it sounds richer and more natural than the CD version I have.

What a sonic journey this album is! Great one for a lazy Sunday. Music, all I hear is music guaranteed to please! Pressing sounds wonderful to these ears!

Is the release on CD in mono - can't find it. The Edsel 2 CD set seems to have all the tracks, but the album is only in stereo like all other CD releases, I can see here.

Sounds great. Super quiet, high-quality vinyl with a really nice stereo soundstage.

This LP includes the Genesis debut album mixed in groovy late-1960's stereo & some early singles that get the mono treatment, which I'm guessing were the original mixes to begin with.
A wonderfully pressed slab of hot-wax mastered beautifully by the immortal Emile Lepine at Disques SNB.
