Genesis – Genesis (Amiga 1981) Vintage LP Compilation

This rare East German pressing of Genesis was released in 1981 on the cult label Amiga and presents selected tracks from the British band's progressive and early rock phase. The atmospheric cover with its fairytale-like artwork and classic typography is typical of Amiga releases of that era – a true collector's item for fans of art and progressive rock.

Historical background

Genesis , founded in 1967 by Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, and Mike Rutherford, is considered one of the most influential bands of progressive rock. In the 1970s, they achieved international fame with complex compositions and theatrical stage performances. After Gabriel's departure, Phil Collins took over vocals, and the band increasingly moved towards more accessible pop-rock sounds. This Amiga LP documents the transitional period between these stylistic worlds—a fascinating historical document for collectors and music lovers.
