It was released as a single twice (originally with "Ripples" and then with "Your Own Special Way"). Later on it was released on the Archive 2 box set in 2000, and finally as part of the Extras disc of their 1976-82 Box Set in 2007.
To complicate matters, there are different versions of the song. The original version is shorter as a verse was taken out . But some versions have the missing verse, but fade out early. The early fade-out is unfortunate, because without the fade-out you can hear Tony Banks play the first phrase of the song "Mad Man Moon". I'm almost certain this song was supposed to precede "Mad Man Moon" on "A Trick of the Tail". The instrumental section of the song is also reprised in "Los Endos". Since "Los Endos" basically serves as a reprise of several themes on the album (and a call back to "Supper's Ready"), I decided to place this song before Mad Man Moon to see how it works within the album.
Not too surprisingly, it works wonderfully, and the album is actually improved with its addition. This is how I play the album on my iPod from now on. The version of It's Yourself you hear here is actually a fan edit from the now defunct genesis-music that incorporates the missing verse, but does not fade out at the end so that you can hear how it segways nicely into "Mad Man Moon". Enjoy.

"Mad Man Moon" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written! I have never grown tired of it. It still gives me goosebumps after 44 years! There are just a few other songs that have affected me that way. It's timeless to me! "One From the Vine" is another.

I don’t think Phill’s voice was EVER better than 75-85 era. Voice of honey and unique sound It kills me to see him now unable to sing as he once did and unable to play his drums, life is cruel but he is forever saved on vinyl for the universe to appreciate.

Mad Man Moon is one of the most underrated of Genesis' songs.
-
Trick of the tail was a brilliant album. Especially after Peter Gabriel left the group after Lambs lie down on Broadway. Collins Rutherford Hackett and Banks displayed a masterpiece of an album. To me Genesis is the best Progressive ban of all times without a doubt

Prog rock can't get any better than the albums Genesis released between 1972-1978, this song is a great example for the greatness of Genesis, Genesis is my favorite prog rock band and in my humble opinion the best prog band of all times!!!

Heaven is where genesis shines

In the "Musical box" documentary, Peter Gabriel said that he had full confidence in the band continuing without him. And that he was not surprised by how good "A trick of the tail" turned out to be. He also lets it shine through in the lyrics of "Sollsbury Hill" "Tonight I don't need a replacement. I told them what the smile on my face meant."

Its Yourself is a great song that did not make it onto an album. The ideas were fresh and the standards were high. What a band they were at this time!

People forget Genesis did 4 sold out shows at Wembley in 87 , fantastic night the gig I went to , Phil had the audience in the palm of his hands, not saying they peaked that week but cemented their place as a " premier" band. Nothing beats Phil and Chester playing together then Phil just walking back and starting his vocals again, magic , pure magic....

Mad Man Moon is a master piece!!! 💯😍💯😍💯😍
-
A re-released A Trick of the Tail, with this fantastic piece included, would be most welcome.

I have to tell you that YOU have made my decade. I've been a Genesis fan since 1978. BUT NEVER HEARD THIS SONG. As most, if not all Genesis Fans in 2018 hope, for new music, THIS posting is for me NEW MUSIC. THANKS. Can't believe I've missed this for so long. Wow. I like it. First time through.

Can you imagine Roger Daltrey quitting The Who, and then Keith Moon decides to try being the lead singer and takes The Who to even bigger heights. Or John Bonham. It is incredible what Phil Collins and Genesis was able to do.
-
Genesis, top quality. They could have been bigger with Steve Hackett remaining the band, Trick and Wind are marvellous works.

『Selling England by the Pound』と並んで『A Trick of the Tail』は、GENESIS のアルバムの中で私が一番好きな作品です。 その中でもこの「Mad Man Moon」は、初めてラジオで聴いた時にその素晴らしさ（美しさや奥深さ）に打たれて以来、ずっと大好きな曲です。
-
Entangled/It's Yourself/Mad Man Moon would have made an awesome suite.
-
The journey of Mad Man Moon... a journey in music I have taken many times.
-
