This album really has never sounded so good!
Having left Genesis in the summer of 1976, Peters first solo album arrived in February 1977. He was 26. With legendary producer Bob Ezrin taking charge, the intention was to make a more direct and tougher record: something different from what had gone before. The record also provided one of Peters most recognizable songs in the shape of Solsbury Hill.
"These studio albums reflect the modus operandi of someone whose approach to recording was as meticulous as a diamond cutter... The results are captured splendidly here, allowing precise imaging, rich timbre, and clear inner detail to merge with increasingly earthy rhythms and deep drum tones - call it primal perfectionism." - Jeff Wilson, The Absolute Sound, March 2016, Music 4/5, Sonics 4/5!
Half-Speed Remastered and cut to lacquers at 45RPM, across two heavyweight LPs to deliver maximum dynamic sound range. Vinyl cut by Matt Colton at Alchemy Mastering, mastered by Tony Cousins at Metropolis and overseen by Peters main sound engineer Richard Chappell. These albums really have never sounded so good! They also look amazing with the gatefold sleeves utilizing imagery from the initial release, sourced and re-scanned from original artwork. Albums include download cards with a choice of digital download (Hi-Res 24/96k or 16/44.1k). Each are numbered limited editions - only 10,000 Worldwide.
"...if you listen to the 45rpm 1/2-speed remasters that we've done, PG 1,2,3 or 4, it's as good as listening to the original master tapes, perhaps in some places perhaps even more pleasurable listening..." - Matt Colton, Alchemy Mastering
