It was originally released in June 1983, on Charisma (UK), and Atlantic (US). It was produced by Banks himself, and co-produced by the Grammy Award–winning Stephen Short. The album is notably the first and only album in which Banks sings the lead vocals all of the tracks, on the previous concept album, ''A Curious Feeling'' all of the vocals were done by Kim Beacon. When that album did not turn out too successful Banks thought that it was pointless to continue that project. And unlike ''A Curious Feeling'' the songs on ''The Fugitive'' were much more commercially accessible and less experimental. When the album was released in late June 1983, it received mixed reviews and peaked at #50 in the UK, lasting within the Top 100 for only two weeks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Official Charts Company - The Fugitive by Tony Banks Search )〕 It was also released only four months before Genesis's self-titled album, and "And the Wheels Keep Turning" was notably released in the same month as their single "Mama". "This Is Love", and "And the Wheels Keep Turning" were released as singles, but they both failed to chart. The album was re-issued on CD in the UK, but it is currently out of print and arguably harder to find than the original vinyl LP itself, and today second-hand copies are often listed for sale for £15 or more. However, in 1999 a CD re-issue was released in Russia, unofficially. ==Recording== In October 1982, Genesis wrapped their two-month tour of North America and Europe in support of their live album, ''Three Sides Live''. The band then went on a brief hiatus, and during this time Banks recorded the album, alike band mate Phil Collins Banks recorded all of the basic tracks at his home on a professional 8-track tape machine, added to and mixed at The Farm, the band's recording studio in Chiddingfold, Surrey. Genesis reconvened a month before the album's release, in May 1983 to start work on their next studio album at the same studio. Three guest musicians (mostly Steve Gadd) played drums, while a Linn LM-1 was used in place of a live drummer on the instrumental "Thirty Three's". Daryl Stuermer (guitar) from Genesis' and Phil Collins' backing band was recruited, as was Mo Foster (bass) who played on Collins' solo album ''Hello, I Must Be Going!''.〔 The two bonus tracks "K2", and "Sometime Never" were not included on the original album due to lack of space but they were still recorded in the same sessions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Fugitive (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
