Info for The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (Remastered Deluxe Edition)

In Genesis’ incredible body of work, ‘The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway’ is a landmark record. Originally released on 22 November 1974, at the pinnacle of their early success, it came at a pivotal point in Genesis’ history. It is rated as one of the greatest albums of its era and one of the most influential progressive rock albums of all time.

Genesis' sixth studio album was released as a double album by Charisma Records and is the last to feature original frontman Peter Gabriel. The group's longest album to date, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway peaked at No. 10 on the U.K. Albums Chart and No. 41 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S..

The album is a concept album and tells the surreal story, devised by Gabriel, of a young Puerto Rican named Rael who embarks on a journey through a series of strange and bizarre events in New York City.

Musically, the album is a departure from the band's previous works, incorporating a wide range of styles including progressive rock, art rock, funk, and jazz fusion. The album features complex rhythms, intricate melodies, and dense layers of instrumentation, showcasing the band's virtuosic musicianship.

The album is notable for its use of storytelling, with each track contributing to the larger narrative of Rael's journey. The lyrics are often cryptic and abstract, and the album's surreal imagery has been interpreted in a variety of ways by listeners and critics.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway gained acclaim in the years after its release, reaching gold certification for sales in the U.K. and U.S.. In 1978, Nick Kent wrote for NME that it "had a compelling appeal that often transcended the hoary weightiness of the mammoth concept that held the equally mammoth four sides of vinyl together." In a special edition of Q and Mojo magazines titled Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock, The Lamb ranked at No. 14 in its 40 Cosmic Rock Albums list. The album came third in a list of the 10 best concept albums by Uncut magazine, where it was described as an "impressionistic, intense album" and "pure theatre (in a good way) and still Gabriel's best work." A Rolling Stone poll to rank readers' favourite progressive rock albums of all time placed The Lamb fifth in the list.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is widely regarded as one of Genesis's most important and influential works, inspiring generations of progressive rock musicians.

This 50th-anniversary Deluxe Edition is a true celebration of a remarkable album that embraces the groundbreaking music, giving the whole band’s insight alongside evocative imagery and unseen photos. Ultimately, it celebrates the huge magnitude of what this record is, which Alexis Petridis sums up perfectly in the opening paragraph of the liner notes…

“Perhaps it makes sense that an album as complex as The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway has an equally complex history. The saga of its making is a strange and lengthy one, involving rat-infested country houses, uncanny presentiments of the future—or at least the future of rock music—Hollywood directors, personality clashes and inflatable penises. It’s also occasionally controversial: Talking to the former members of Genesis about The Lamb…nearly half a century on, it’s hard not to be struck by the fact that they seldom agree about it. Some members of the band have said they think it’s the best album of their career. Others think of it as a brave but flawed experiment. Some people view it as the absolute apotheosis of early-’70s progressive rock: a double concept album filled with dense, intricate, ever-shifting music, featuring a plot so knotty and strange even some members of the band didn’t understand it (“Ask Peter—I’m just the drummer,” shrugged Phil Collins when a journalist quizzed him about it shortly after release) and subject to one of the most famously theatrical live presentations in rock history. Some people think it presages the arrival of punk rock. In fact, there’s every chance that The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is all those things—flawed experiment, career highlight, prog masterpiece, weirdly prescient precursor of punk—at once, which might account for its longevity.”

Genesis
During their storied careers, Genesis have released 15 original studio albums, Tony Banks six, Phil Collins eight and Mike Rutherford has released two solo albums as well as nine as Mike + The Mechanics. The combined record sales, including additional live albums, movie soundtracks and box sets, are in excess of 250 million copies globally and contain songs including “The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway,” “Sussudio,” “Against All Odds,” “All I Need is a Miracle,” “In the Air Tonight,” “I Can’t Dance,” “That’s All,” “Land of Confusion,” “The Living Years,” “Invisible Touch” and countless other hits.

The history of Genesis can be traced back to 1965, when the young members of the Garden Wall and the Anon, two bands composed of students from the Charterhouse School in Godalming, Surrey, came together to form a new joint group. Featuring Gabriel, Banks, Rutherford, and fourth founding member Anthony Phillips, the quartet originally called itself the New Anon before settling on Genesis. Early on, Genesis favored a folk-inspired progressive pop sound that carried through its initial singles and first two albums, From Genesis to Revelation and Trespass. Shortly after the latter album's 1970 release, Phillips and original drummer John Mayhew bowed out from the act. The two were soon replaced by Collins on drums and Hackett on guitar.

With its classic lineup in place, Genesis embarked on the most successful period of its early career. For the next several years, the band released a series of eccentric progressive rock albums such as Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, and Selling England by the Pound that firmly established its reputation for fantastic lyrical narratives and epic "prog-rock" orchestration. The artistic flair for which Genesis quickly became known was also furthered by the members' remarkably theatrical live performances, which typically featured state-of-the-art visual effects and creative stagecraft helmed by unrelenting showman Gabriel. The culmination of Genesis's early progressive stage act came with the 1974 release of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, an expansive concept album with a complex story and a full cast of characters that marked the band's first major commercial success. At the conclusion of the album's exhausting tour, however, Gabriel announced his decision to leave the group.

After Gabriel's departure, Collins was elected to take on his duties as lead singer and frontman. Under Collins's direction, the band gradually distanced itself to some degree from its progressive roots and came to embrace a more pop-inspired sound. Although Hackett also elected to leave the band in 1977, Genesis's commercial success only grew as it released increasingly pop-oriented albums such as Duke (1980) and Abacab (1981). Its greatest success came with Invisible Touch (1986), which featured the smash hit "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight." Genesis continued producing albums until the release of Calling All Stations in 1997. After that, the group essentially disbanded, later reuniting only for a 2007 reunion tour and a 2014 BBC documentary. Rutherford and Collins reunited once again in 2021 for the The Last Domino? Tour. Collins stated that this would serve as the band's farewell tour. (Source: ebsco.com)
