Formed in 1967 at Charterhouse School in Surrey, England, Genesis is one of the top-selling recording artists of all time. Known for their complex song structures and elaborate instrumentation, the band's early work was defined by the theatrical performances of founder member Peter Gabriel. After Gabriel's departure in 1975, drummer Phil Collins took over lead vocals and the band shifted towards more accessible pop-based music. This change catapulted Genesis to immense popularity throughout the 1980s and early 1990s.

In 1996, Collins left to focus on his solo career, leaving Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks to continue with new vocalist Ray Wilson. However, this lineup only lasted for one album before Genesis went on hiatus due to poor performance and critical reception. In 2006, Collins, Banks, and Rutherford reunited for a successful tour called "Turn It On Again." Despite much speculation and anticipation, a reunion involving ex-members Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett has yet to materialize.

Recognized for their contributions to rock music, Genesis was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as performers in 2010. Over their extensive career, the band has featured various talented musicians including Anthony Phillips, Steve Hackett, Phil Collins as both drummer and vocalist among others. With their unique blend of progressive rock and pop sensibilities,

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner
