This is the 3rd song on Foxtrot, the 1974 4th album by Genesis. It has strong comic connections and in 1976 after Gabriel left it was picked up by French artist Jean Sole who wrote and drew a comic book version of the song. As well as conveying the thrust of British early 70' social commentary he also portrayed the elaborate and theatrical costume changes displayed by Gabriel during live performance of the song in his publication (Fluide Glacial #8).

1974 saw King Crimson staring into the abyss. This emotionally driven single was originally written, by bassist John Wetton, for the album Starless and Bible Black; after being declined by Fripp and Bruford at that time it was revived with alterations and recorded for the Red album. Our live performances include the extended instrumental section built on the Bill Bruford bass rift, with our Kizzy giving it lots of Sax appeal!
Debut Release
This classic rock ballad with jazzy overtones was released by Pink Floyd in 1974 as the second single from the album The Dark Side of the Moon.
