In the Beginning is the second song of the English rock band, Genesis. it was released in 1969 on their debut album, From Genesis to Revelation. The band's name was omitted from the sleeve because Decca had recently discovered that an obscure American act was also calling itself Genesis and asked the band to consider changing its name to avoid confusion, which King declined.[1] The American "Genesis" in question was likely the LA-based group that released an LP called In The Beginning on the Mercury label in 1967.,[2] or it may have been an even more obscure R&B band, also using the name Genesis, in Massachusetts.
