| 1986 Album Reissued on 180g Vinyl LP! Includes "Red Rain," "Sledgehammer," "Big Time" & "In Your Eyes"! Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 297/500! 1987 Grammy Award Nominee: Record of the Year: "Sledgehammer" Album of the Year: So Song of the Year: "Sledgehammer" Best Rock Vocal Performance, Male: "Sledgehammer" The first of Peter Gabriel's studio albums to have a proper title, So was a watershed release with its perfect marriage of the artistic and the commercial. The album, produced by Daniel Lanois, features intriguing collaborations with the likes of Laurie Anderson, Kate Bush and Youssou N'Dour and contains some of Peter's most recognizable and popular songs. Includes "Sledgehammer," "In Your Eyes," "Don't Give Up" and "Big Time." "There is always wisdom from hindsight. And because So was my most successful record, I think that a lot of people think that it was designed to be that. From the other end of it, you never really know which records are going to do well. You know that some things are going to be so obscure and difficult for a mainstream audience that they're no-hopers but generally, with what I do, it's hard to predict which albums are going to do well." This is a 1LP black vinyl release with sleeve artwork and inner bag as per the original LP release but still with the artist's preferred running order that has "In Your Eyes" closing the album. The album comes with a limited time download card with a choice of digital download (Hi-Res 24/96k or 16/44.1k). |
