Genesis – A Trick Of The Tail
LP, Album | ATCO Records | Cat. No. SD 38-101 | US | 1977
Genesis without Peter Gabriel — and they didn't miss a beat. A Trick Of The Tail is the album that silenced the doubters, with Phil Collins stepping to the mic and delivering one of the finest vocal performances in prog rock. Produced by David Hentschel and Genesis, it's a record of remarkable range — from the volcanic opener Dance On A Volcano to the delicate Entangled, the mythological Squonk, and the sprawling instrumental closer Los Endos. This is the US ATCO pressing with the "SP"-suffix matrix, pressed at the Presswell plant ("E A S T" embossed around the centre hole; "PR" etched in Side B runout). Gatefold cover. Mastered by Ed Feinblatt.
