Genesis announces ‘The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway’ 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition

The ultimate collection celebrates the landmark album

In Genesis’ incredible body of work, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is a landmark record. Originally released on November 22, 1974 (50 years ago this week), 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.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition is the album’s definitive compendium, following the arc of the album’s creation and tour. With input from all of the band members involved in the record – Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, and Mike Rutherford – it comes in 5 LP/Blu-ray Audio, 4 CD/Blu-ray Audio and digital, including Dolby Atmos formats, all providing a deep dive into the music and visual elements around this album.

The sets include the original album mix, remastered at Abbey Road Studios by Miles Showell from the 1974 analog tapes. A Blu-ray Audio disc includes the remastered 96kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio and Dolby Atmos mixes of the studio album done by Bob Mackenzie at Real World Studios under the supervision of Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Live At The Shrine Auditorium from January 24, 1975. It is remastered and includes two encore tracks, “Watcher of the Skies” and “The Musical Box.” This is the first time the full live show, including the encore tracks, has been released in its entirety.

Three never-before-released demos from the legendary Headley Grange Session are included as part of a digital download card with the full audio from the set.

A 60-page coffee table style book with Alexis Petridis liner notes, who interviewed all five band members to tell the story of The Lamb… – from the writing sessions to live performances – which is believed to be the only time this has happened since its original release. The book also features images from Armando Gallo, Richard Haines and other noted photographers. A 1975 tour program reproduction, replica ticket and poster

This 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition is a true celebration of a remarkable album that embraces 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…
