Data Insight
Twenty-three tracks and all five names on every one, even though Gabriel wrote the story and the words alone. The sleeve credit hides the split that broke the band up.
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway came out on Charisma in November 1974, a double concept album and Peter Gabriel's last with the band.
