Genesis – A Trick Of The Tail (1976)

Witness the spectacular rebirth of a progressive rock giant. A Trick Of The Tail is the landmark album that proved Genesis could not only survive but thrive following the departure of Peter Gabriel. With Phil Collins stepping up to the microphone for the first time, the band delivered one of the most melodic, imaginative, and commercially successful albums of their entire career.

The record is a masterclass in symphonic prog-rock, blending intricate musicianship with whimsical storytelling and lush, cinematic production. From the thunderous opening of "Dance on a Volcano" to the hauntingly beautiful title track, the album captures a band at a creative peak, perfectly balancing the complexity of their early years with the soaring melodies that would define their global stardom.

Key Features:

  • The Sound: Sophisticated Progressive Rock featuring soaring synthesizers, intricate 12-string guitars, and complex time signatures.

  • Essential Tracks: Features the fan favorites "Squonk," "Ripples," and the epic closing instrumental "Los Endos."

  • The Legacy: Widely considered one of the best-sounding recordings of the 70s, making it a high-fidelity favorite for vinyl enthusiasts.

  • Format: 12" Black Vinyl LP.
