Numbered, limited edition 180-gram 2LP 45 RPM reissue

Album download included in choice of standard or hi-res audio, offer subject to expiration

Peter Gabriel is set to release half-speed vinyl remasters for his So, Us and Up albums on July 15, 2016. All three titles are being pressed on 180-gram vinyl at 45 RPM, and each takes up multiple discs. So will spread out over two LPs, while Us and Up now fill three.

So is the fifth studio album (and seventh album overall) by British rock musician Peter Gabriel, released in 1986. Many of its songs reflect a more conventional pop-writing style and became radio hits, others still retain Gabriel's dark, brooding sense of experimentalism. It is Peter Gabriel's second album produced by Canadian artist Daniel Lanois. The previous year, the two of them had worked together on Birdy. Lanois had been previously known for his ambient collaborations with Brian Eno as well as producing U2 since 1984. As he had with the soundtrack to the film "Birdy," Lanois brought many of his own ambient sensibilities to this recording.

"It has been heartwarming to see the return of vinyl," says Gabriel. "Even though I loved being free of its limitations in the digital world, there is still a warmth and presence to vinyl that somehow makes it a more natural human companion. It is great to see a new generation learning the secrets of the grooves."

The Gabriel reissues boast gatefold sleeves incorporating original artwork, and will be made available through a numbered limited-edition pressing, with each copy bundled with a download card offering consumers their choice of standard or hi-res digital audio.
