So this morning I had only this album in mind, usually by the time I get to the shelves of albums I have pretty much decided on the three or so albums for an early morning session before work. So first up this album from 1983 and one of only three of his twenty six studio albums I own, you will have no trouble guessing at least one of the other two !
The opening track is full of random sounds which now includes “skipping” yes the disc now has some horrible brown spots. So another replacement required for the medium proclaimed as “perfect sound for ever” !

Next up an old favourite, my live introduction to this great band was when Phil had taken on the role of “front man” and this was his first album as lead vocal and a fine job too ! Don’t get me wrong I am a huge Gabriel fan, both with Genesis and as a solo artist, but Trick shows the direction the band was moving in and the rest is, as they say, history!
Track Listing:
1. Dance On A Volcano
2. Entangled
3. Squonk
4. Mad Man Moon
5. Robbery, Assault And Battery
6. Ripples

Last up and possibly my all time favourite American singer songwriter this his sixth studio album and one that just epitomises the talent of this twenty five times nominated and six times Grammy Award winner, with album sales of over 160 million worldwide.
