Peter Gabriel Makes It “So” for 2012, With Your Help

December 14, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-huvkhTChQE]

With the pretty-great release of orchestral reinterpretation record New Blood under his belt, Peter Gabriel is looking back again by planning a reissue of his excellent 1986 album So – scheduled for 2012, a year after its 25th anniversary – and he wants your help.

The in-development reissue is being worked on by Gabriel and his team; in the December installment of his Full Moon Updates, the singer revealed he’s working with footage that was shot for 1987’s POV, a Martin Scorsese-produced documentary featuring live concert footage from Athens, Greece, for potential inclusion in the reissue. While there’s been no concrete talk of audio extras, Gabriel is soliciting input from fans on his website.

“We want you to help us build the story of So with your own memories,” a statement on the site reads. “We would love to see your memorabilia from back in 1986. Do you have any original So merchandise, posters and tickets for the So tour? Your photos relating to the album release or the concerts? Even a diary entry from 25 years ago which tells a special story about the album release or So tour?”

Submissions are still in the early stages; as such, Gabriel’s team is only asking for small-scale scans to include on the site as opposed to higher-resolution images to use in liner notes. But he wants your input by January 9, so keep checking back for updates on what should be a most welcome reissue of this essential pop album.

Special thanks to super-reader Rudy Palma for the tip!

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    Any chance they’ll finally put that extended remix of “In Your Eyes” on CD? I’ll be going to website and making my vote!

      Well, crap… They’re ONLY looking for people’s memorabilia on the website.

      I’m curious to see what they do with this reissue, but I hope that remix is included. The alternate mix of “Sledgehammer,” the one used in the video, would be welcome too.

      Mostly, I hope this isn’t just some $100+ boxed set filled with lots of unnecessary crap (like, oh, marbles). A cool DVD would be fine, but mostly I’m just looking for more great music.
