PETER GABIEL 3: MELT

Limited 180gm yellow colored vinyl LP pressing. Includes digital download. Produced by Steve Lillywhite this third album (affectionately known as Melt due to the iconic Hipgnosis designed cover) saw Peter Gabriel change his writing style; now the rhythm came before the melody and the songs were built up on top of the rhythmic sequences. The album delivered a top 5 UK single in Games Without Frontiers and Peter's first overtly political song in the shape of totemic closer Biko. It also features notable contributions from Kate Bush, Paul Weller, Phil Collins and David Rhodes.
