After Peter Gabriel left Genesis, the remaining members held auditions for a
permanent lead singer, although some members (most notably Banks)
considered continuing as an instrumental act, while most songs were written
without knowledge as to how they would be sung. Initially, Phil Collins did not
wish to take over from Gabriel, instead teaching the potential lead singers the
songs. One of the 400 auditioners, Mick Strickland, came close, but the band
and Strickland decided against working together in the end. According to the
band members, the backing tracks for A Trick Of The Tail had already been
recorded and were in a key in which Strickland was not comfortable singing.
When the auditions failed to produce a suitable vocalist, Collins reluctantly
went in the studio to sing "Squonk" and the band decided that Collins should
be the new vocalist.

A Trick of the Tail reached #3 in the UK and #31 in the US. Additionally, the
album was certified Gold in the US by the RIAA in March 1990. Also according
to Tony Banks in the essay that comes with Platinum Collection, the album
doubled the band's previous albums sales. This success was also financially
crucial for Genesis who were $400,000 in debt by the time Peter Gabriel left.
