Peter Gabriel | Peter Gabriel (Scratch) [1978]

It's no surprise that we are big Genesis fans, and enjoy most off-shoots of Genesis. This is the first Peter Gabriel solo record we've talked about, and we will surely discuss the others as well. This is one of our favorites of his solo albums, it's got a real searching and fresh feel, plus a lot of really great songs - especially "White Shadow"!

Peter Gabriel is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Peter Gabriel, released on June 2nd 1978 by Charisma Records. Gabriel started recording the album in November 1977, the same month that he had completed touring in support of his debut solo release. He employed former King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp, who was part of Gabriel's early touring band, to produce the album and incorporated his use of Frippertronics effects on the co-written "Exposure".

The album was released in the US as Peter Gabriel II. It later became known informally as Scratch, referring to the album's artwork by Hipgnosis. Some music streaming services refer to it as Peter Gabriel 2: Scratch.

The album reached No. 10 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 45 on the US Billboard Pop Albums chart.
