Genesis’ The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Reissued as Part of the Atlantic Records 75th Anniversary Series on 45rpm 180g 4LP. Mastered Directly From the Original Master Tape by Bernie Grundman. Pressed by Quality Record Pressings and RTI.
Genesis’ sixth studio album was released as a double album in November 1974 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.
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.
