Peter Gabriel – OVO

“First time on vinyl for Peter Gabriel’s album from 2000, released exclusively for Record Store Day across 2 x 180g vinyl LPs, blue and orange.

OVO is Peter Gabriel’s soundtrack to the Millennium Dome Show in London, the 160-artist extravaganza that underwent 999 performances during the 365 days in 2000 that the Dome was open. Helping to tell the story of three generations of the same family living through three distinct eras – the past, the present, the future – Gabriel’s soundtrack accordingly draws from deep, long- held tradition and from contemporary grooves.
OVO boasts a stellar cast, including Cocteau Twin Elizabeth Fraser, Neneh Cherry, Paul Buchanan from The Blue Nile and Iarla Ó Lionáird as well as Jocelyn Pook, Will Gregory, BT, The Dhol Foundation and The Black Dyke Band.
Some of the tracks from OVO have become fixtures of the Gabriel cayesn and regular live favourites, among them Downside-Up, Father, Son and The Tower That Ate People.

LP has been half-speed remastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis and comes in a gatefold sleeve, with printed inner bags and a 20 page booklet with The Story of OVO.”
