Sound and Live Performance
The piano introduction to "Firth of Fifth" has not been included in a performance since 1974, in a Drury Lane Theatre concert, when Banks misplayed and Collins covered by starting the song from after the intro. "The Cinema Show" contains a long-form synthesizer solo in which Gabriel and Hackett played no part; during live performances, they both left the stage for this section. This solo section would later form the melodic centrepiece of the extended instrumentals in the 'In The Cage' Medley (a combination of song excerpts that Genesis would perform live years after it had stopped performing other songs from the 1970s).
"I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" was Genesis' first single to receive any sort of chart action, hitting No.21 in the UK in April 1974.
