These are three different sources from the same sessions which gave birth to A Trick Of The Tail, the first Genesis album without Peter gabriel to feature Phil Collins on vocals. Sources are different and I took the opportunity of a recent transfer of my own copy of A Trick Of The Tail "Outtakes" vinyl boot to create a mega-seed that include all three.

A Trick of the Outtakes comes from a Highland CD and it is probably the most complete and best sounding. Quality there is pristine and this should be kept as the reference for these outtakes. Top notch there.

The second source comes from a tape trade I did back in the mid 80´s and I haven´t seen this source circulating. tracks are the same except that this source is very hissy but you can hear some small sections not available on the cd, like small comments in the studio and counting before the track starts. I guess this is really for completists but could be interesting.

The third source is from a vinyl boot I purchased back in 1987. Quality is also very good but shorter. Overall, this is basically what you need to have in terms of ATOTT outtakes.
