Amazing: A special announcement has been made by the legendary king of the finest progressive music of the 1970s.

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, the British band Genesis’ sixth studio album, was released on November 22, 1974. It was a bold double album that embodied the best of progressive music in the 1970s. The Land Lies Down on Broadway, which starred the iconic Genesis lineup of Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, and Mike Rutherford, is a concept work that follows the journey of a Puerto Rican child named Rael in Manhattan, New York City. The title song, “In the Cage,” and “The Carpet Crawlers” later appeared on the band’s set lists on their later tours, and it is still arguably the band’s most iconic work to this day.

Rhino announced Wednesday that The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, the last Genesis album with lead singer Gabriel, will be reissued in a super deluxe edition on March 28, 2025, marking the album’s 50th anniversary. The band teased the reissue and anniversary on social media prior to the announcement.

Rhino’s press release states that the set’s highlights, which are available in 5-LP/Blu-ray, 4-CD/Blu-ray, and digital versions, are as follows: The full The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Live at the Shrine Auditorium show from January 24, 1975 (the concert was previously released from the Genesis Archive 1967-1975 box from 1998), a 60-page book with photographs and interviews with Banks, Collins, Gabriel, Hackett, and Rutherford—all of whom were involved in the new reissue—three previously unreleased demos from the Headley Grange sessions available via a digital download card, the original album mix remastered, and a Blue-ray audio disc with remastered 96kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio and Dolby ATMOS mixes of the album.

According to the press release, Alexis Petridis, a music critic for The Guardian, penned the following liner notes for the new set: “Talking to the former members of Genesis about The LambIt’s difficult not to be impressed by how rarely they agree on it, over fifty years later. Some band members have stated that they believe it to be their finest album to date. Some view it as a courageous but failed experiment.It’s possible that The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is all of those things at once—a botched attempt, a career high point, a prog classic, and a strangely foreboding forerunner of punk—which might explain why it has lasted so long.

The band’s 14 studio albums (from 1970’s Trespass to 1997’s Calling All Stations) were re-released on 180-gram vinyl this past summer, which was followed by the news of the forthcoming Lamb super deluxe version.
