Which Genesis albums provide most of the Seconds Out set?

Much of the set comes from A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering, the first two Genesis studio albums with Collins as lead singer. The album also revisits Gabriel-era material such as "Firth of Fifth," "The Musical Box," and "Supper's Ready."

Why is Seconds Out important in Genesis's lineup history?

Released in 1977, it documents the band successfully presenting both old and new material with Collins at the microphone. It also became Steve Hackett's final Genesis release before the group continued as the trio of Collins, Tony Banks, and Mike Rutherford.
