The idea of a pocket limited edition has long been something we have wanted to publish. What better way to celebrate our 100th edition than to put four of our most sought after titles into a boxed set?
From the 1980s to the 2010s, GENESIS 100 spans four decades allowing readers to rediscover some of the most collectable works published on our journey to 100 editions.
24 Nights was published in 1991 the first of three Genesis editions produced with Eric Clapton and two with Sir Peter Blake.
24 Nights captures the excitement and creativity of Clapton's record breaking 24-night run at London's Royal Albert Hall, an incredible musical achievement. This sought-after collection of drawings and photographs is now available as part of the GENESIS 100 boxed set.
Michael Putland has been described as the photographer who manages to be everywhere at the same time capturing it all the seen and the unseen sound and vision.
Just prior to the Rolling Stones' 1972 world tour, Putland was asked by the Stones to be their official tour photographer. He happily accepted, and set about creating the classic images in this volume, capturing the very essence of the excitement and fascination generated by the band.
In 1985 George Harrison was introduced to artist Keith West and so began a collaboration to produce a stunning set of watercolours illustrating the composers many memorable songs.
West, one of the finest botanical watercolour artists in the world, soon found himself travelling regularly from his cottage in North Wales to Oxfordshire to discuss the interpretations of Harrison's song lyrics to prepare his illustrations. The result, Songs by George Harrison, was published in February 1988 as a songbook of lyrics and commentary with fine watercolour illustrations and hand-drawn lettering.
Speed of Life is the creation of musician producer and actor David Bowie and photographer and designer Masayoshi Sukita. Narrated in their own words their extended photo essay follows the development of Bowies career across four decades from 1972 onwards.
Bowie met Sukita for the first time in 1972, and the pair began working together almost immediately. Sukita told Genesis: 'There was very little information about David Bowie in Japan and when I arrived in London I was immediately interested and intrigued.' The photographer had worked with Marc Bolan of T-Rex, and so was able to present his portfolio to Bowie's manager. A portrait session was organised, and so their collaboration began.
