Finally, the 50th-anniversary box set of Genesis’s fabled 1974 album, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, is with us. And so, too, our cover story, in which we look at the ensuing tour for the album, during which Peter Gabriel decided to quit the band. Such a pivotal moment in the history of progressive rock, I’m sure you’ll agree. We speak to those who were there at the time: band, management, crew and fans, to discover the truth behind what unveils itself to be a quite harrowing time in Genesis and prog’s evolution, for myriad reasons.

Plus, we’ve teamed up with the band to offer this exclusive ‘The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway’ t-shirt only available here. Get yours today.

We also speak to Roy Harper’s about his amazing his career in The Prog Interview; Jeff Wayne unveils his thoughts on his own career and whether it’s been overshadowed by Martians; and we loom at the making of Hawkwind’s 1974 album Hall Of The Mountain Grill.

Elsewhere, this issue boasts a truly international line-up with young Scottish prog rockers Ihlo, Welsh pop-proggers Chimpan A, Norwegian prog rockers Green Carnation, US proggers Discipline, Swedish art-rockers Gaupa, and, from the UK, Jakko Jakszyk, Kindred Spirit Band and Moon Halo.
