Genesis are among the highest-selling recording artists of all time with approximately 130 million records sold worldwide. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.

The original version of this debut album by the world’s most successful Prog band has been one of the most valued collectors’ LPs. It rarely comes up for auction - when it does, it reaches bids well over £1,000. This ultra collectable album is once again available on vinyl, in a gatefold sleeve.
