Cultural Facts: [7]
1. Squonk Sealed The Deal: After Peter Gabriel left, Genesis auditioned singers while tracking at Trident. Phil Collins only meant to demo "Squonk," but the take was so strong the band made him the permanent lead vocalist.
2. Secret Melody Maker Ad: Management placed a barely anonymous ad seeking "a singer for a Genesis-style group" while Gabriel's exit was still under wraps - hundreds of hopefuls applied before Collins stepped up.
3. First Post-Gabriel Hit: Released Feb 1976, A Trick of the Tail hit No. 3 in the UK and proved Genesis could thrive without Gabriel, returning to fairy-tale English eccentricity with a Hipgnosis storybook sleeve.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
