Peter Gabriel Up Half-Speed Mastered 180g 2LP (Vinyl)

Half-Speed Mastered 180g 33rpm Double LP!

Released September 2002, UP was the final part of the two-letter, single-syllable trilogy produced by Peter (and mixed by Tchad Blake and Stephen Hague). Hundreds and hundreds of hours of recordings were made, ultimately being slimmed down to the final ten tracks.

UP reveals itself to be another deeply personal statement, with birth and death being near-constant themes. It is what Peter calls a "book-end" record. Mostly recorded at Real World (although some initial recordings were made in Senegal, France and on a boat on the Amazon), the album sees contributions from the likes of Peter Green, Danny Thompson, the Blind Boys of Alabama, Daniel Lanois, the Black Dyke Band, Peter’s daughter Melanie and the late, great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Half-Speed Remastered and cut to lacquers at 33rpm, across two heavyweight LPs. Vinyl cut by Matt Colton at Alchemy Mastering, mastered by Tony Cousins at Metropolis and overseen by Peter’s main sound engineer Richard Chappell. They album covers look amazing with the gatefold sleeves utilizing imagery from the initial release, sourced and re-scanned from original artwork.
