{"product_id":"peter-gabriel-so","title":"Peter Gabriel - So","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Gabriel's So is one of the defining art-pop albums of the 1980s, bringing together adventurous studio production, global rhythmic influences and a set of songs that became some of the most recognisable of his career. Originally released in 1986, the album marked a point where Gabriel's experimental instincts and a more direct pop sensibility met with remarkable precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking with producer Daniel Lanois, Gabriel built the record around dense but carefully organised arrangements: layered percussion, atmospheric keyboards, sharply defined bass and guitar parts, and vocal performances that move from intimate to theatrical. The album's sound helped establish a template for sophisticated mainstream pop in the second half of the decade while retaining the exploratory character of Gabriel's earlier solo work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo includes material that ranges from expansive, rhythm-driven pop to quieter and more reflective pieces, with contributions from a broad circle of musicians and collaborators. Its combination of art-rock ambition and accessible songwriting helped the album reach a far wider audience without sacrificing the detail and unusual textures that had long defined Gabriel's music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 12-inch vinyl edition is a catalogue pressing of the landmark album. The supplied PIAS\/Integral listing identifies it as catalogue number PGLPR5 on Virgin UK, with a 2026 release date for this pressing. No colour variant or special packaging detail has been supplied, so it is listed here as the standard LP edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virgin UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58716998533494,"sku":"PGLPR5","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/6450\/6005\/files\/petergabriel_deea2639-84f9-4823-bbe2-e415a2d2d542.avif?v=1789407464","url":"https:\/\/www.stickyblacktarmac.com\/products\/peter-gabriel-so","provider":"Sticky Black Tarmac","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
