Peter Gabriel 'Sledgehammer' CLASSIC TRACKS RICHARD BUSKIN he words to Peter Gabriel’s most commercial song and biggest T international hit aren’t exactly subtle. Sonically drawing on some of his previous numbers, like ‘Games Without Frontiers’ and ‘Shock the Monkey’, as well as 1960s American soul records by the likes of Otis Redding, ‘Sledgehammer’ is chock full of sexual innuendo: a steam train, an aeroplane, a big dipper, a bumper car, you name it. Still, thanks to its infectious groove, Peter Gabriel ‘Sledgehammer’ contributions by the likes of legendary Stax house musicians the Memphis Horns When Peter Gabriel made the transition from and an iconic music video, it topped the prog to pop with ‘Sledgehammer’ he did it on American chart in July 1986 and climbed to number four in the UK. his own exacting terms... ‘Sledgehammer’ was the second track on So, Gabriel’s fifth solo studio album who took over as the album’s engineer albeit on my own terms.” and the biggest seller of his career, hitting after David Bascombe — who’d recorded When Genesis fan Kevin Killen received the top spot in his native Britain where it the basic tracks — left the project to a call that May, asking him to help finish was certified triple platinum and number work with Tears For Fears. “Beforehand, the record following Dave Bascombe’s two in the US where it went five-times they’d worked on the soundtrack of the departure, he jumped at the opportunity. platinum.

Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.

Performances of Irish ballads remained popular with English audiences but the publication of Stanford’s song collection An Irish Idyll in Six Miniatures in 1901 by Boosey and Hawkes in London marks a shift to a different type of Irish song.

  • PRRP 021 – Peter Gabriel Manchester 1980 – Liner Notes
    Through The Wire With the release of his ground-breaking third solo album in May 1980, Peter Gabriel firmly began to establish his reputation as a highly innovative solo artist. In February of that year, before the release of the album, he embarked on a British tour, dubbed the „Tour Of China 1984‟, showcasing new material and a streamlined, more direct live sound. At The Apollo in Manchester, Gabriel and his band entered from the rear of the auditorium, arriving on stage to the menacing opening strains of “Intruder”. Alongside Tony Levin on bass and Larry Fast on keyboards was a surprising new recruit – guitarist John Ellis from punk outfit THE VIBRATORS. It was Ellis‟ raw, dry guitar, combined with Jerry Marotta‟s dominant, economical drumming, which gave Gabriel‟s new live sound much of its harder edge. This recording, from March 5th 1980, includes several rarely performed songs from Peter Gabriel‟s live repertoire at the time. “Milgram‟s 37”, given a lengthy explanatory introduction by Gabriel, wouldn‟t appear on an album until 1986‟s classic “So”, where it was renamed “We Do What We‟re Told”. The minimal “Lead A Normal Life” complements “Mother Of Violence” while “Bully For You” (co-written with Tom Robinson, who provided the lyrics for Gabriel‟s music) and the ebullient “I Go Swimming” both remain unreleased as studio recordings. “Games Without Frontiers” provided Gabriel with his second solo hit single (following the early success of “Solsbury Hill” in 1977) and it was during this song that he chose to leave the stage and venture into the audience to encourage a sing-along of the “Jeux Sans Frontières” chorus refrain.
