Duke is the tenth studio album by the British progrock band Genesis, and the second recorded by her as a trio, released on March 31, 1980. The recording of the album took place at Phil Collins' house, who was simultaneously working on his solo debut Face Value. According to Collins, he was "kind of obsessed with Duke." The compositions "Behind The Lines", "Duchess", "Guide Vocal", "Turn It On Again", "Duke's Travels" and "Duke's End" were originally a whole piece called "Duke Suite" with the central character Albert, but the band decided to split it up to avoid comparisons with 23-minute "Supper's Ready" from the album Foxtrot. This simplification reflected the group's departure from complex compositions, its desire to become more straightforward and well suited to the era of the 80s. Duke became the band's first album to reach number one in the UK charts. In the same year, Duke received platinum status at home, and in 1988 — in the USA In support of the album, a tour of Britain and North America was arranged from April to June 1980, which began with a tour of 40 concerts in the UK, where all 106,000 tickets were sold within a few hours of going on sale

SPOOKY TOOTH-WITNESS-1973-THE FIRST UK-ISLAND PRESS - ILPS9255 Matrix A-1U/B-1U Stamper 3RM/1P .A very rare British original of the cult group. "Witness" is a chic album by the band, recorded in 1973. To record it, Mike Kelly, the drummer from the original composition of Spooky Tooth, returned to the band and, practically, replaced Bryson Graham, who participated in the recording of the previous album You Broke My Heart ... (1973). Gary Wright is gaining more and more influence in the band, which did not please frontman Mike Harrison, who left the band shortly after the release of “Witness”. In addition to Wright, the authors of the music were bassist Chris Stewart in the song "Don't Ever Stray Away" and guitarist Mick Jones in the rather pop "All Sewn Up". Mike Harrison strangely did not have a hand in the composition in any way. But his emotional vocals created the main mood of Witness. The band also returned to the old practice of Spooky Tooth from the time of the album Spooky Two - duets, vocal duels between Harrison and Wright. Critics praised the work, the album hit 49th place on the Billboard 200. ...more
