Peter Gabriel is the third eponymous solo studio album by English rock musician Peter Gabriel, released on 30 May 1980 by Charisma Records. * * * * * Gabriel's ex-bandmate Phil Collins, who succeeded him as Genesis's lead vocalist, played drums on several of the album's tracks. "Intruder" has been cited as the first use of Collins' "gated drum" sound. This effect, as created by Steve Lillywhite, Collins and Hugh Padgham, was featured on Collins' and Genesis's recordings throughout the 1980s. * * * * The album, produced by Gabriel and Lillywhite, was Gabriel's first and only release for Mercury Records in the United States, after being rejected by Atlantic Records, who handled U.S. distribution for Gabriel's first two solo albums and his last two albums with Genesis. Upon hearing mixes of session tapes in early 1980, Atlantic A&R executive John Kalodner deemed the album not commercial enough for release, and recommended Atlantic drop Gabriel from their roster. * * * * In 1989, the album was ranked No. 45 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Albums of the 80's". In 2000, Q magazine placed the album at No. 53 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2006, Q placed the album at No. 29 in its list of "40 Best Albums of the '80s", the only Gabriel album to make the top 40. * * * * #musiconvinyl #currentlyspinning #vinyljunkie #recordporn #vinylveterans #recorddigging #stereoisking #nowspinningonvinyl #vinylig #vinyllp #soundsystem #hifiaudio #rarerecords #raregroove #igvinylclub https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3TgTOJ-gs/?igshid=16cc40ngv7gvd
