Jubileuszowa reedycja piątego solowego albumu Petera Gabriela i
pierwszego w jego karierze, który opatrzył tytułem. Wydany w 1986r.
album był też drugim nagranym we współpracy ze słynnym kanadyjskim
producentem Danielem Lanois. Przyniósł kilka przebojowych singli po obu
stronach Atlantyku: "Sledgehammer", "Big Time", "Don't Give Up" (duet z
Kate Bush) i "In Your Eyes". To między innymi dzięki nim album trafił na
pierwsze miejsce brytyjskiej i drugie amerykańskiej listy przebojów.
Ważną rolę w jego promocji odegrały też świetne wideoklipy do utworów
"Sledgehammer", "Red Rain", "Big Time" i "Don't Give Up".
Planując jubileuszową reedycję, Gabriel pragnął powrócić do oryginalnej
dźwiękowej "wizji" albumu. Wspierał go w tym Ian Cooper, inżynier który
pracował w Townhouse Studio w 1986r. Zachował nawet notatki sprzed 25
lat!
