Genesis Piano

"Foxtrot" is the 4th studio album by the English progressive rock band Genesis, released on 6 October 1972 on Charisma Records. It features their longest recorded song, the 23-minute track "Supper's Ready". The album was recorded following the tour in support of their previous album, "Nursery Cryme" (1971), which saw them gain popularity, including a well-received slot at the Great Western Express Festival, Lincolnshire in May 1972. The album was written over the summer of 1972 and combined songs that had already been performed live with new material worked out in jam sessions. Recording began in August with John Anthony, but sessions were prone to tension and disagreements. "Foxtrot" was the 1st Genesis album to chart in the UK, reaching #12, and received largely positive reviews. It went to #1 in Italy, their first album reaching #1 globally. A non-album single "Happy The Man" was released at the same time.
