GENESIS - Duke

Duke was the tenth studio album by British rock group, Genesis. Recorded in October–December 1979, the album was released in March 1980 where it became the band's first record to reach No. 1 in the United Kingdom.

 

Duke was initially to include a 30-minute suite of 'Behind The Lines/Duchess/Guide Vocal/Turn It On Again/Duke's Travels/Duke's End' that told a story of the fictional Albert. The band eventually separated these songs on Duke, partly to avoid comparisons to the band's other epics such as "Supper's Ready". However, Genesis did perform this suite live on the Duke Tour in 1980, with lead singer Phil Collins introducing it as "The Story of Albert."
