| Notes |
| Note on CAS 1058: The first print run of the album was gatefold. Later versions were not, although they had the same catalogue number. Players: Steve Hackett: Electric Guitar, 12-String Guitar, 6-String Guitar Peter Gabriel: Lead Vocal, Flute, Bass Drum, Tambourine, Oboe Tony Banks: Organ, Mellotron, Piano, Electric Piano, 12-String Guitar, Vocals Phil Collins: Drums, Vocals, Assorted Percussion Mike Rutherford: Bass, Bass Pedals, 12-String Guitar, Vocals, Cello Richard MacPhail: Equipment and Stage Sound (sound friend) Note on "Horizons" vs "Horizon's": The original Charisma release of Foxtrot in 1972 spells it without the apostrophe. So does Bay Of Kings, which has a remade version, and the later live album There Are Many Sides To The Night. The sans apostrophe is the correct spelling. The original LPs from both the US and UK Foxtrot releases have it correct. The error appears in the 1979 rereleases of Foxtrot when Genesis got a new record label in the USA. The errors appear on the original releases as well as the later remasters; and they appear on LP, cassette, and CD versions. Why this error occurred in the first place is unknown. Why it has been perpetuated is equally puzzling. Paul Whitehead discussed his painting for the cover of this album in Armando Gallo's book: Cover is originally a put-down on fox-hunting as a aristocratic sport. It took on a stronger meaning when he heard "Supper's Ready". The ice floating on water is like the soul floating in the human body. The fox, is a passion, a violent aspect, but it has used its cunning and adopted a disguise and the ice to escape its pursuers. The cover is adopted into half land and half sea, and it shows that there is as much life in the sea as there is on the land. There is also death in the sea, as signified by Cythia's mallet, the shark, the Hogweed and the nuclear submarine. The cyclist is Peter! Apparently Peter once turned up to some meeting on a bike and he couldn't cycle very well. The hotel is representative of all the hotels that the band were about to spend time in. They were about to hit the big time, and years on the road loomed ahead of them. |
