The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is the sixth studio album by the English progressive rock band Genesis. Released on 22 November 1974 by Charisma Records it is the band's fourth album Phil Collins on drums and additional vocals and the last to feature Peter Gabriel on lead vocals.

This is a concept album, a kind of a rock opera, about a Puerto Rican Rael who travels to the New Your City Underground. As Peter Gabriel commented during the live shows, Rael "crawls out of the subways of New York and is sucked into the wool to regain consciousness underground."

The 1994 CD remaster of the album indexes "Fly on a Windshield" at 4:23 and "Broadway Melody of 1974" at 0:33. In fact, the songs merge together seamlessly and seem to be divided only for lyrical reasons, which led to an error by the manufacturer.
