Back in 1969, Genesis were signed to Decca records and released their Ill advised Jonathan King influenced debut album: 'From Genesis to Revelation', It sold only 600 copies so the record company had no choice but to drop them. The shock was great, Tony Philips nearly threw in the towel, Tony Banks decided to go to the university of Sussex to do a degree, Peter and the others were devastated as well and questioned whether it was worth continuing.
I can imagine that these lyrics are the dialogue of the Decca record company executive at the meeting when they were given the boot.
Fortunately, Tony Stratton Smith and Charisma records picked them up and saved the day..........So a happy ending for all.
I know what this is about, the penny's dropped.
