"The story of Genesis is told in Chapter & Verse by the voices of Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford, with the help of Anthony Phillips, who was a central force in the band before succumbing to stage fright in 1970. As well as the essential storyline, Genesis: Chapter & Verse contains the space and time to focus on the writing and performing of significant songs, providing an insight into each period of the band's history." "Interspersed with the flow of reminiscences and reflections from the main players are additional voices from the band's most prominent travelling companions. The band's early drummers - Chris Stewart, John Silver, who played on the band's first album, and his replacement John Mayhew - have all contributed, as have the regular sidemen who completed the live line-up from the late 1970s onwards, drummer Chester Thompson and guitarist Daryl Stuermer.^ These are joined by Bill Bruford, who played drums with Genesis on tour in 1976, and Ray Wilson, the vocalist who took over from Phil Collins in 1997 to sing on the Calling All Stations album and tour." "Richard Macphail, a trusted schoolfriend from Charterhouse who acted as tour manager, confidant and cheerleader in the early 1970s, tells his side of the story, and producers Hugh Padgham and Nick Davis, plus Rusty Brutsche, who was responsible for the revolutionary Vari-Lite technology that brought Genesis live shows to life, all share their personal memories of working with the band.^ Then there is Jonathan King, who gave Genesis their first big break in 1967, when he brokered a record deal for them with Decca; Gail Colson, who was one of Tony Stratton-Smith's most trusted associates at Charisma Records, the label which subsequently nurtured the band's early career; Tony Smith, who has managed Genesis since the mid 1970s; Nancy Lewis and Ed Goodgold, who helped break the band in America, and the late Ahmet Ertegun, cofounder of Atlantic Records, who later oversaw their career there." "Together they recount the tale of Genesis's forty-year journey, from the beginnings during the founders' schooldays at Charterhouse through to the decision to reunite for the sell-out Turn It On Again tour of 2007."--BOOK JACKET.
