2 stars I was stupid enough to buy this one without looking too closely on it, I first thought this was a import bootleg live album that was hard to find elsewhere but unfortunately I was wrong. This is just a poor compilation featuring random Genesis material from 1971-1973. It's rather pointless, with the only really interesting thing here being the rare 7" single version of "Watcher of the Skies" featured here (in fact, I doubt those germans who put this together was realizing that). That version was later featured on the brilliant Archive 67-75 boxset. Strangely, for a compilation this album has a very odd tracklist, a normal case for cheap european compilations like this unfortunately. This obviously was a failed attempt to cash in at Genesis' popularitiy around it's time for release (1975).

This is another one of those 'for people with limited money budget only' releases. I personally would go with their main albums instead since they're actually much better introductions to the band. Collectors only!
