NewsMore Peter Gabriel 45RPM vinyl sets
A year on from the issuing his first four albums as acclaimed 2LP half-speed remastered 45RPM vinyl sets, Peter Gabriel will complete his studio album discography by releasing So (1986), Us (1992) and Up (2002) on exactly the same format.
As before, the albums have all been half-speed remastered and cut to lacquers at 45RPM in an attempt to deliver the maximum dynamic sound range. Matt Colton at Alchemy Mastering has again cut the vinyl with Tony Cousins at Metropolis responsible for the mastering (overseen by Gabriel’s main sound engineer Richard Chappell).
So has now been issued on vinyl a number of times including its original 1986 release, the EMI100 centenary from 1997, the 2002 Classic Records audiophile set and as part of the infamous 25th Anniversary box in 2012. The new version will maintain the ‘re-order’ of the track listing, which puts In Your Eyes at the end (this was first done in 2002) and will include This Is The Picture (Excellent Birds) which wasn’t part of the original vinyl release.
Previous vinyl versions of Us and Up were already doubles, so for these 45RPM sets the 10 tracks on each album are spread across three 180g vinyl records. However, both have five sides of music and an etched sixth side of vinyl.
Each album comes in a gatefold sleeve utilising imagery from the initial first LP pressings, sourced and re-scanned from original artwork.
These are limited editions and all individually numbered and will include download cards with a choice of digital download (Hi-Res 24-bit or 16-bit).
All three will be issued on 15 July 2016 and can be pre-ordered below or via the Peter Gabriel store.
