Peter Gabriel / “So” reissue delayed

Peter Gabriel’s classic 1986 album So was due to be reissued on 17 September (18th in the US) as a Deluxe and Super Deluxe Edition but yesterday EMI told this blog that the release has been pushed back to ‘mid-October’.

Details have yet to emerge about the format and content of the Super Deluxe Edition, but at least the delay removes So from a very crowded marketplace on 17 September since Michael Jackson’s Bad, INXS’s Kick, the Sex Pistol’s Never Mind The Bollocks… are all due out in super deluxe format on that day.

The So Super Deluxe Edition was originally touted for spring 2012, before being pushed back to September. Gabriel originally asked for fans to help in December 2011 by sending in any scans of So-era photos and memorabilia.
