A Trick of the Tail (2007 Remaster) - Genesis

A Trick of the Tail is a Genesis album that I never bought on any format before getting it as part of the 2007 box set it was in. I looked at the track listing, and didn't recognize anything from this album. However, after listening to it, you get an odd mix. As someone who was most fond of the mid/late 80's style of Genesis song, this was different for me. However, a few tracks stood out. I loved Squonk. Turned out I knew it, just not by title. Los Endos was pretty cool too. I can't say this would be the first one I reach for when I go for Genesis, but there was more here than I thought there would be.

This was the first album the band made without Peter Gabriel, although to be honest, I know little of Gabriel's Genesis output, so that marker is lost on me. :)

The 2007 remaster series has two discs. The second has a DVD Audio 5.1 mix of the album, plus new interviews, videos, live footage, etc. I got this version of the CD in the 1976-1982 Genesis Box Set. You can order that here, but the cover art here links to the individual 2007 remaster version of this album, as it's cheaper to buy them individually, but you don't get the bonus discs in the box set.
