Reissued 2018, Originally released 1974
Double vinyl LP pressing. Peter Gabriel wanted to make a movie out of the rock opera that is The Lamb Dies Down on Broadway. That never happened, but thank God this 1974 double-LP did; this Gabriel-era Genesis masterpiece just missed the Top 40 but remains a magnificent achievement, marrying hypnotic instrumentals with hook-infused rockers: the classic title track, "In the Cage," "Back in N.Y.C.," "The Carpet Crawlers," "Lilywhite Lilith," "Riding the Scree" and more! The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is the sixth studio album by Genesis and their last album recorded with Peter Gabriel as their lead singer before his departure from the group in 1975.
