Trivia / Trespass (Genesis Album)

Go To

  • Channel Hop: Having parted ways with Decca Records after the failure of From Genesis to Revelation, Trespass saw Genesis sign onto Charisma Records in the UK and Impulse! Records in the US as the jazz label's first rock act. Genesis would stay with until Charisma the label's 1986 absorption by Virgin Records, but the Impulse! deal would begin and end here.
  • No Export for You: The Definitive Edition remaster and 2007 remix were never released in America, owed to this album being owned by a different label Stateside (MCA, who inherited it from ABC Records and Impulse! Records) than its successors.
  • Throw It In!: Paul Whitehead, who designed the covers for this and Genesis' next two albums, presented his cover to the band. They felt that their music no longer reflected the tone of the cover and request that Paul change it, something he was hesitant to do. He was then inspired by them to slash that artwork with an actual knife (a possible reference to the song "The Knife"), thus the streak you see, and the knife when you look at the back.
