[edit] Overview

The release of Duke followed solo albums by Genesis members Tony Banks (A Curious Feeling) and Mike Rutherford, (Smallcreep's Day).

Phil Collins, meanwhile, had taken an extended leave of absence of the band in order to try and save his first marriage.[5] During this time he wrote a number of songs on his own. These songs would make up the bulk of his first solo album, Face Value, released in 1981, after the release of Duke. Banks and Rutherford picked two Collins songs, "Please Don't Ask" and "Misunderstanding", for inclusion on the album.

Once Duke was released, the song "Turn It on Again" became the band's second UK Top 10 hit, while "Misunderstanding" reached the Top 20 in the US.

Duke was originally meant to include a roughly 30-minute suite featuring songs in the order of "Behind The Lines/Duchess/Guide Vocal/Turn It On Again/Duke's Travels/Duke's End," ultimately telling the story of fictional character "Albert." While the band separated these songs on the record to prevent comparisons to the band's most recognisable epic, "Supper's Ready," Genesis did perform the suite live on the "Duke Tour" in 1980, with Collins introducing it with "The Story of Albert."

This album is widely considered their final progressive rock release, as their next album, Abacab, would take on a much more radio friendly approach. This change in sound would ultimately stay with the band on other releases in the future.

A digitally remastered version was released on CD in 1994 on Virgin in Europe and Atlantic in the US and Canada. The remastered CD's booklet features all of the original album's artwork and complete lyrics.

An SACD / DVD double disc set (including new 5.1 and Stereo mixes) was released on 2 April 2007 (although it will be a CD / DVD double disc set for the US and Canada).

[edit] 2007 SACD/CD/DVD Release

A new version of Duke was released in the UK and Japan on 2 April 2007. It was released in the US and Canada as part of the Genesis 1976-1982 box set on 15 May 2007. This includes the entire album in remixed stereo, the entire album in surround sound, and related video tracks.

Disc 1, in the European and Japanese releases, is a hybrid SACD/CD disk. The stereo layer includes the remixed tracks, and the SACD layer is a multichannel surround sound remix.[8]

Disc 1, in the Canadian and U.S. releases, is a standard CD, containing the stereo remixes. No SACD layer is included.[9]

Disc 2, in all releases, is a DVD-Video disk containing both audio and video tracks. This DVD includes three audio mixes of the album: DTS 5.1-channel surround sound, Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound, and Dolby Digital stereo.[10] The DTS surround sound is a slightly compressed version of the surround sound on the SACD,[11] and the Dolby surround sound is of slightly inferior quality to the DTS.[12]

Disk 2 also includes the following video tracks:

Band interview about this album (2006).
Promotional videos: "Duchess", "Misunderstanding", "Turn it on Again".
Live At The Lyceum, London 1980. Songs include "Behind the Lines", "Duchess", "Guide Vocal", "In the Cage", "Afterglow", "Dance on a Volcano" and "Los Endos".
