Genesis - A Trick Of The Tail LP (180g Yellow Vinyl)

A Trick Of The Tail was a landmark album for the band, and it still stands today as one of their best with classics like "Dance On A Volcano" and "Squonk". Following Gabriel's decision to leave the band, the remaining members wanted to carry on and show they could still write and record successful material. The group wrote and rehearsed new songs during mid-1975, and listened to around 400 audition tapes for a replacement frontman.
