It was 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. It was reissued in various regions, including the United Kingdom (home country), as ''In the Beginning'' (first in 1974) and then part of Decca's ''Rock Roots'' repackaging series in 1976〔https://books.google.com/books?id=ZKDcBOvRoGcC&lpg=PA21&dq=%22from%20genesis%20to%20revelation%22%20-wikipedia%20%22in%20the%20beginning%22%20genesis&pg=PA21#v=onepage&q=%22from%20genesis%20to%20revelation%22%20-wikipedia%20%22in%20the%20beginning%22%20genesis&f=false〕 before reverting back to original title in recent reissues. ==Production== Genesis originally consisted of Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, and Anthony Phillips, without a drummer. Once one of their demo tapes caught the attention of Jonathan King, he took them under his wing, gave them the name Genesis 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" written specifically to win King's approval, as the Bee Gees were one of King's favourite groups.〔 Its February 1968 release on Decca Records was not a commercial success. Neither was the follow-up "A Winter's Tale" three months later. After replacing Chris Stewart with John Silver, King wanted the band to make an album with songs loosely based on passages in the Bible in the form of a concept album, and in the music style of the Bee Gees.〔〔 The album was recorded in August 1968 during school holidays.
