Wheat Williams sez:
Genesis was better after Peter Gabriel left. 

and Allen replies:

No. When Hackett left was the real turning point. Better or worse? You decide!

I see *And Then There Were Three* as a sort of post-script to the "main sequence". Tony is still the main writer; David Hentschel is still producing. The style still had some life left in it, even on *Duke*. For me, *Duke* is the turning point.

I remember seeing, years afterward, an ad for *Duke* in a copy of *Music Week*, the UK's equivalent to *Billboard*. (The GSU library subscribed to it and kept back issues in bound volumes, as they did with most of their periodicals.) It looked like the album cover, with the same child-like handwriting/typeface. At the bottom of the page, in fine print, appeared the words:


"Expect some surprises"
