Gorgeous-Sounding Progressive Rock, But it Also Rocks!

Review Score: (10/10)
A trick of the tail released back in 1976 is The first Genesis release Phil Collins marks his vocal debut. Several years has
passed since i heard this recording & about 2 years ago i was lisening to my entire collection of rock music on vinyl and tape
and i came across "A TRICK OF THE TAIL" put the record on and was truly amazed on how good the sound still was espcally songs
like "DANCE ON A VOLCANO" "ROBBERY, ASSUALT, & BATTERY" such powerful progressive rock that it ages like fine wine and never goes out of style. I beileve there isn't as much focus on the music of Gennesis Before 1980 the Year When the Phenominal album "DUKE" was released and that is a shame because there is a lot of great Gennesis Material that Radio & the general public never knew existed from 1973 To 1978 that has also never been appreicated for It's musical Orginality & Integrity.
