Genesis ...And Then There Were Three equipment

...And Then There Were Three...' is Genesis' ninth studio album, released in March 1978 on Charisma Records. It was the first album recorded and released since Steve Hackett's departure from the group, hence the title.

Hackett officially left the band while mixing Seconds Out in July 1977, due to growing frustration over his compositions frequently being sidelined by the group which left him stifled, and wished to focus on a solo career. Which left Mike Rutherford, Phil Collins and Tony Banks as a trio. The album material was rehearsed for six weeks, then recorded over at Relight Studios in Hilvarenbeek, Netherlands between September and October 1977 with David Hentschel at the helm as co-producer and engineer. This time a lot of the songs were shorter and concise, therefore more accessible. "Follow You, Follow Me" was to become their highest-charting single to date, but was almost shelved during the recording as Hentschel disliked the song...
