Notes: This box set is an all-inclusive chronicle of the most creatively fertile period in the career of one of progressive rock's most trailblazing ensembles. It contains all the band's studio albums from 1970-'74 (TRESPASS through THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY). Hundreds of bands from all over the world would base their sound on the music featured here for decades to come. Every album is polished up with a new remixing and remastering job, plus bonus DVD content. The final disc in the set will seal the deal for hardcore fans, as it includes a host of rare and previously unreleased material from BBC sessions, demos, soundtrack work, and elsewhere.

Rolling Stone (p.95) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "The country-cathedral air of 1970's TRESPASs and the prog-garage jolts of 1971's NURSERY CRYME fuse to perfection in Gabriel's theatrical fables of greed and struggle in a fading Britain on 1972's FOXTROT..."

One of the seminal progressive rock bands, Genesis began in the late-'60s as post-Beatles visionaries with a taste for orchestrated pop melodrama, but quickly mutated into purveyors of ambitious, classical-tinged art rock. After flamboyantly theatrical vocalist Peter Gabriel left (eventually followed by guitarist Steve Hackett), the group gradually turned toward more accessible material under the stewardship of singing drummer Phil Collins. By the '80s, Genesis had become an unstoppable hit-singles machine. Meanwhile, both Gabriel and Collins went on to lucrative solo careers. The band called it a day in 1997, shortly following Collins's departure, but reunited a decade later for a major world tour.
