Genesis' seventh studio album was released in February 1976 on Charisma Records and was the first to feature drummer Phil Collins as lead vocalist after the departure of Peter Gabriel
The album was a critical and commercial success in the U.K. and U.S., reaching No. 3 and No. 31 respectively
A Trick of the Tail was a landmark album for the band, and it still stands today as one of their best with classics such as "Dance on a Volcano" and "Squonk"
In the wake of Peter Gabriel's departure from the band, the remaining members of Genesis were determined to forge ahead, showcasing their songwriting prowess and recording prowess in the absence of their iconic frontman
This period marked the genesis of A Trick of the Tail
In mid-1975, the band embarked on an intensive creative journey, crafting new compositions and diligently rehearsing them
Their quest for a new lead vocalist led them to sift through a staggering 400 audition tapes
As the autumn leaves began to fall, Genesis found themselves at Trident Studios in October, accompanied by producer David Hentschel
Surprisingly, the recording sessions began with an air of uncertainty regarding who would take on the role of lead vocalist
However, fate intervened when Phil Collins was persuaded to step up and deliver a powerful rendition of "Squonk"
The strength of his performance not only won over the band but also paved the way for him to assume lead vocals for the entirety of the album
Genesis has always been synonymous with grandeur and innovation, both in their electrifying live performances and their trailblazing studio albums
From timeless classics such as Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, and Selling England by the Pound to the epic concept album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of musical creativity
