Hi all, I started a poll for "Your Favourite 1977 PA Ranked Album" and someone mentioned that Wind & Wuthering was actually a 1976 release. I reported that in this forum last week and Dean stepped in and made the correction. Now, someone in the poll is reporting that A Trick of the Tail was actually released in Denmark and Scandanavia in 1975. Furthermore, they posted a picture of the Charisma vinyl record label to prove it. I had a look on wiki, and they report the ATOTT release dates as being in Feb '76 for both UK & US. I think Dean explained that the official PA release year is not always the first release, but also takes into account the country of origin release date. Anyway, I just wanted to bring this to an admin's attention so they could decide whether to change this or not. Thanks!

I remember a few years ago I reported the same thing about W&W, and it was changed from 77 to 76. Then at some point it was changed back for whatever reason there was (probably the UK people having to wait until 77 while the rest of the world already had it). Discogs.com knows a whole bunch of official 1975 pressings for Trick, I wasn't aware of this at all. Based on this information I would change Trick to 75 if I was making the decision. But if there's a country of origin factor in play here, then it's of course a different matter. http://www.discogs.com/Genesis-A-Trick-Of-The-Tail/master/28748" rel="nofollow - http://www.discogs.com/Genesis-A-Trick-Of-The-Tail/master/28748 http://www.discogs.com/Genesis-Wind-Wuthering/master/29409" rel="nofollow - http://www.discogs.com/Genesis-Wind-Wuthering/master/29409
