A lack of sales and musical differences led to their split from King and Decca. In 1970, after a period of rehearsals and early gigs, they signed with Charisma Records and evolved into a progressive rock band, releasing a series of successful albums that showcased fantasy-inspired lyrics and more complex song structures and instrumentation, including Foxtrot (1972), Selling England by the Pound (1973), and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974). Their shows during this time were theatrical experiences that used stage design, pyrotechnics, storytelling, and singer Peter Gabriel in costume.
