More Peter Gabriel
More Progressive Rock
- An original UK Charisma pressing with INCREDIBLE Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) sound or close to it from start to finish
- This has long been a favorite album of mine, a desert island disc if you will, with some of the most powerfully produced, intelligently written and passionately performed songs in the entire PG canon
- We shot out a number of other imports, but this early Mad Hatter label pressing had better midrange presence, bass, and dynamics than practically any other copy we played
- 4 stars: “‘On the Air’ and ‘D.I.Y.’ are stunning slices of modern rock circa 1978, bubbling with synths, insistent rhythms, and polished processed guitars, all enclosed in a streamlined production that nevertheless sounds as large as a stadium.”
- If I were to compile a list of my top twenty rock and pop albums of 1978, this album would most likely be one of the most played titles on that list, one that I still listen to regularly to this day
Peter Gabriel’s self-titled second album checks off a number of important boxes for us here at Better Records:
- It’s part of the core collection of well recorded rock & pop albums
- It’s an album that we think should be more popular with audiophiles
Looking to do a shootout to find your own Hot Stamper?
- Stick exclusively with the early British pressings. Nothing can touch them for sound quality.
