Following the successful tour for A Trick Of The Tail, Genesis travelled to the Netherlands to record their follow-up album. Wind & Wuthering would ultimately become the band's final album as a four-piece, with founding member Steve Hackett leaving soon afterwards.
The album was a critical success and reached the Top 10 of the UK Albums Chart.

Its position as the final album recorded by the four-piece line-up gives the release particular significance within the Genesis catalogue, closing one chapter in the band's history before another major change in personnel.
