Genesis – Genesis "Yellow" album Issued with OBI + 4-page insert featuring English lyrics (replicates original US/UK printed inner sleeve) and Japanese liner notes with "Genesis Line-Up 12". Sleeve NM Record NM Insert NM OBI NM The "Yellow Album" by Genesis refers to their self-titled album, often informally called the "Yellow Album" due to its cover artwork featuring a yellow background. Released in 1983, this album marked a significant transition for the band, as it was their first studio album after the departure of lead singer Peter Gabriel. Phil Collins took over as the lead vocalist, and the album showcased a more pop-oriented sound compared to their earlier progressive rock style. The album, simply titled "Genesis," features tracks such as "Mama," "That's All," and "Taking It All Too Hard," which became popular hits and helped propel the band into mainstream success during the 1980s. While some longtime fans of Genesis may have initially been divided over the departure of Gabriel and the band's shift in musical direction, the "Yellow Album" ultimately demonstrated the group's ability to adapt and evolve, cementing their status as one of the most enduring and influential acts in rock music history.
