You just answered your own question. It was an album.
The title refers to the song structure. "A", "B", and "C" refer to different sections of the song, which at one point during recording spelled ABACAB. The 'B' stands for Tony Banks' part, the 'C' for Phil Collins' part, as they wrote the song. (thanks, stu - brantford, Canada)
Collins said that this is the first album where the 3 members of the band really talked to each other and worked as a team.
The first Top-10 hit for Genesis in the US.

The album takes its name from an early arrangement of the musical parts that make up the title track. Guitarist Mike Rutherford said on the US radio show In the Studio with Redbeard (which spotlighted Duke and Abacab in one episode): "There were three bits of music in Abacab, and we referred to them as 'section a', 'section b', and 'section c'... and at different times, they were in different order. We'd start with 'section a' and then have 'section c'... and at one point in time, it spelled Abacab. On the final version, it's not that at all, it's like 'Accaabbaac'."
