#WIKIPEDIA PETER GABRIEL DISCOGRAPHY FULL#
Normally we hear the song start with a piano, but this rare version begins with a full band. Half-speed remastered LP on 180g black vinyl. All other versions of the song seem to have this intro edited out. It has a longer version of "Slowburn" (5:16 instead of 4:36) with the song's introduction intact. There is a slightly different version of this album released through Direct Disk Labs, a halfspeed mastered version from the original master tapes. The car was a Lancia Flavia owned by Storm Thorgerson. This album is often referred to as Car, referring to the album cover by Hipgnosis. The album went to #7 in UK and #38 in the USA. Since then he has created far simpler renditions such as the one on Robert Fripp's album, Exposure, his appearance on Kate Bush's 1979 TV special, and yet a third version on Peter Gabriel's first greatest hits album, Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats. Erasure covered the song in 2003 on Other People's Songs.Īfter release, Peter Gabriel felt that the track "Here Comes the Flood" was over-produced. The album's second track, " Solsbury Hill," describes Gabriel's departure from Genesis and has become one of Gabriel's more popular songs. Gabriel and producer Bob Ezrin assembled a team of talented musicians, including Robert Fripp of King Crimson, to record the album. Upon the album's release, Gabriel began touring with a seven-piece band under his own name. Peter Gabriel is the first album Peter Gabriel recorded after leaving the progressive rock band Genesis, and the first of four with the same eponymous title.
