Peter Gabriel / i/o box set

After a year of ‘full moon’ songs Peter Gabriel has today finally announced the release date of i/o, his 10th studio album.

The 12-track album was recorded mostly at Real World Studios and Peter’s home studio. Guitarist David Rhodes, bassist Tony Levin and drummer Manu Katché are present throughout and several songs bear the fingerprints of long-time associate Brian Eno. There are also notable contributions from Richard Russell, pianist Tom Cawley, trumpeters Josh Shpak and Paolo Fresu, cellist Linnea Olsson and keyboard player Don E, amongst others.

As you may be aware by now, there are two different stereo mixes: the Bright-Side Mix, handled by Mark ‘Spike’ Stent, and the Dark-Side Mix, as reshaped by Tchad Blake. These are available together as a 2CD set or as individual 2LP vinyl packages. The gatefold vinyl editions come with an obi-strip, 32-page booklet and hi-res download card.

A 2CD+blu-ray edition features both stereo mixes on CD and a blu-ray with a Dolby Atmos Mix – known as the In-Side Mix which was created by Hans-Martin Buff. The blu-ray is packaged as a digipak with 32-page booklet and comes with an OBI-strip. It also includes both stereo mixes in 24/96 hi-res.

A deluxe box set which will not be released until March next year simply gathers all these formats together: it includes 2CDs, four vinyl LPs and the blu-ray. This foil-blocked, clamshell box includes a casebound book with expanded sleeve notes and a poster.

i/o will be released on 1 December 2023, via Realworld. The super deluxe box set is issued on 26 April 2024.
