Armando Gallo, Genesis’ Photographer and Biographer, turns his Classic “I Know What I Like” book into an amazing, comprehensive and highly interactive app with exclusive photos and music.
Since 1970 Armando Gallo started to follow the career of a then very little known British band called Genesis. They would eventually grow to be one of the most influential groups in rock history… but who knew? He didn’t either, but apparently something captivated him strongly enough that made him follow them around the world in the 70s documenting their every move. The result was 10 years of stories plus stage and behind the scenes photographs of Genesis starting with the Peter Gabriel days and beyond. Armando did extensive research interviewing the band members, their families, friends, managers, school teachers, agents and producers, and dozens of hours of tapes where revisited for the making of this app that includes classic sound bytes.

“This Genesis book is my labour of love. I was very lucky to be there, one fan among thousands who happened to share their adventures from a privileged point of view. And I always thought YOU should have been there too… “I Know What I Like” may be the closest thing to re-living these moments with Genesis.” — Armando Gallo
