Description

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is the ambitious sixth studio album by Genesis and the final Genesis album to feature lead vocalist Peter Gabriel. Released in 1974, this sprawling double concept album follows the surreal journey of Rael, a Puerto Rican youth navigating a bizarre and symbolic underground world. Widely regarded as one of progressive rock's greatest achievements, the album includes fan favourites such as "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway", "In The Cage", "The Carpet Crawlers" and "Counting Out Time".

Pressing Notes
