In 1974 Genesis were coming off the back of their first British Top 10 studio album, Selling England By The Pound, and they had even had a brief flirtation with the singles chart with the quirky but catchy I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe), which got to Their recent chart success had also caused the brief Top 40 appearance in the charts of an earlier album, Nursery Cryme, so three years of building up a cult audience via that and their Foxtrot album, plus constant gigging, was paying of. Released in November 1974, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway reached in the UK, while nearly cracking the US Top 40, reaching and eventually going Gold. The band went on a world tour upon its release, performing the album in its entirety 102 times.
