Hier von Nedaj00's gepostete Bemerkungen:
These are the (primarily) piano demos that Gabriel recorded shortly after he departed Genesis, and before he made his initial return to the studio, with Phil Collins, Anthony Phillips and Mike Rutherford as a comfortable (but ultimately unsatisfying) safety net. And, it must be said, those are probably the demos most listeners would like to hear.
These raw home recordings, however, are equally rewarding, as we hear Gabriel getting to grips not only with a couple of songs that would eventually make it onto his solo debut album ("Excuse Me," sans barbershop harmonies, and "Here Comes The Flood"), but a clutch more that have remained in the vault ever since.
Gabriel was writing at the time with Martin Hall, a songwriter whom he'd known since they both contributed to the Colin Scott album back in 1971; how sad it is that the partnership was ultimately doomed to obscurity.
True, the knockabout "No More Mickey" was offered to Charisma as a single during 1975, but nothing ever came of that; true, too, singer Alan Ross recorded a version of "Get The Guns," before Gabriel himself disemboweled it for the backbone of "Down The Dolce Vita." But who among us has even heard of Ross? And that still leaves "Howling At The Moon," "Funny Man" and "God Knows" to complete a collection that sounds more like demos for his second album, than the precursor of his first.
One final song belongs on this disc, but does not appear -- "You'll Never Know," a Gabriel-Hall composition that did make it onto vinyl, courtesy of comedian Charlie Drake (plus a supporting cast that included Sandy Denny and Robert Fripp). The finished version is as weird as anything Gabriel has ever put his name towards. One can only imagine what the demo sounded like. - Dave Thompson

These are evidently very early demos recorded for "car" (1976, Atco - Atco being Atlantic, a Warner subsidiary label). They are extremely raw; they may have been done in Gabriel's home studio. Most are acoustic piano with a few accompanying support tracks and Peter singing. The songs come from a white tape box marked: 7 1/2ips 1/4 trk stereo Gabriel/Hall Fuse Music The lead sheets had the composer's names given as "Peter Gabriel and Tony Hall" and were marked with a stamp from Fuse Music, England.
The Fuse Music building burned down and took a whole lot of master tapes with it, and that this reel is quite probably the only surviving record of these demos. This brown-oxide tape was discovered rotting in a water-soaked box shoved into a cleaning closet, along with the lead sheets, in a cavernous and seldom-used warehouse.
It was lost/forgotten/abandoned.
The tape was some warbley spots from the neglect and also quite a lot of tape hiss and lost tone. They were processed for several weeks before it reached a satisfactory quality, although "Get the Guns" was problemmatic to begin with; the Master appears to have been recorded badly or with misaligned heads. On the whole there is a tiny bit of tape hiss but no more than you'd expect from such a "live" environment. There is unfortunately one small glitch from a later cassette-to-cd transfer in "Excuse Me" ("Looking for Lost Angeleeeeee").
