RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON CHARISMA 1974

Charisma CGS 101 madein UK in gatefold cover and lyric inner sleeves.

Vinyl EX. Cover VG+.

Given all the overt literary references of Selling England by the Pound, along with their taste for epic suites such as "Supper's Ready," it was only a matter of time before Genesis attempted a full-fledged concept album, and 1974's The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway was a massive rock opera: the winding, wielding story of a Puerto Rican hustler name Rael making his way in New York City. Peter Gabriel made some tentative moves toward developing this story into a movie with William Friedkin but it never took off, perhaps it's just as well; even with the lengthy libretto included with the album, the story never makes sense. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_(band)
