Peter Gabriel Live

Shortly to be released (if not already at time of reading) are these four vinyl editions of Peter Gabriel ‘Live’ recordings. A couple (‘Plays Live’ and ‘Secret World Live’) had been designed to a large extent previously so only a nip and tuck with a little extra was needed for those, although both were remade using rescanned and rephotographed artwork so the best presentation was achieved. ‘Growing Up Live’ and ‘Live in Athens 1987’ were an entirely new build, using fantastic photography by Armando Gallo and Guido Harari throughout.

Peter Gabriel - Vinyl Soundtracks

Continuing with the remastered to vinyl re-releases of Peter Gabriel’s albums, come three of his excellent soundtracks – ‘Passion – Music to The Last Temptation of Christ’, ‘Birdy’, and one I had previously designed ‘Long Walk Home’. Once again I reverse engineered the original, existing albums – rescanning, cleaning, going back to original sources to get visual assets as good as possible for all parts, and adding something a little extra where I could.

Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ
Originally composed as the soundtrack for the Martin Scorsese film’ The Last Temptation of Christ’.
Cover art for the album, Drawing study for Self Image II (1987), is a mixed media composition by the artist Julian Grater. Inner gatefold contains photography from the film. I was particularly happy with the Joe Caroff inspired vinyl etch.

Birdy
Gabriels first soundtrack for the Alan Parker movie released in 1985. Studio/Film assets used throughout.

Long Walk Home: Music from the Rabbit-Proof Fence
Devised as a soundtrack to the Phillip Noyce film ‘Rabbit-Proof Fence’.
Cover art by the wonderful Australian artist Dorothy Napangardi, with Matt Nettheims photographs from the film throughout.
