Wind & Wuthering [3LP] (180 Gram 45Rpm Audiophile Vinyl Tip On)

Genesis - Wind & Wuthering [3LP] (180 Gram 45Rpm Audiophile Vinyl Tip On)

The eighth studio set from the U.K. band would prove the last with guitarist Steve Hackett, who with the core trio of keyboardist Tony Banks, bassist Mike Rutherford and vocalist/drummer Phil Collins brought Genesis's progressive rock phase to a memorable close.

With Wind and Wuthering, Genesis reached a turning point - and created one of the most hauntingly beautiful albums in their catalog. Released in 1976, this gold-certified masterpiece ushered in a new era for the band. A touch less whimsical than its predecessors, Wind and Wuthering trades fairy-tale fantasy for sweeping cinematic grandeur - filled with atmosphere, precision, and emotional depth.

The record delivers Genesis' first U.S. charting single, "Your Own Special Way," yet it's the album's darker corners - the majestic "One for the Vine," the moody "Blood on the Rooftops," and the stirring instrumental passages - that reveal the full power of the band's musicianship. Tony Banks has often called this his favorite Genesis album, admiring its mystery and its intricate musical design: "It's definitely the most musically complex of all our albums."

For audiophiles, Wind and Wuthering is pure analog poetry - a lush, immersive listen where every synth wash, guitar line, and drum flourish feels alive in the room. This is one to own, play, and rediscover again and again. 

Includes "Your Own Special Way," "One for the Vine" and "Blood on the Rooftops"
