From Wiki:
Peter Brian Gabriel (born 13 February 1950) is an
English musician and songwriter. He first rose to
fame as the lead vocalist and flautist of the
progressive rock group Genesis.[1] After leaving
Genesis, Gabriel went on to a successful solo
career. More recently he has focused on producing
and promoting world music and pioneering digital
distribution methods for music. He has also been
involved in various humanitarian efforts. Peter
Gabriel was awarded the Polar Prize 2009.
Shaking the Tree – 16 Golden Greats
1990
Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats was
released in 1990 as Peter Gabriel's first
"greatest hits" album, including songs from his
first solo album Peter Gabriel (I or Car) (1977),
through Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of
Christ (1989). It was remastered with most of
Gabriel's catalog in 2002.
The tracks are creatively re-ordered, ignoring
chronology. Some of the tracks were different from
the album versions. Most songs are edited for
time, either as radio, single or video edit
versions. "Shaking the Tree," a track from Youssou
N'Dour's album The Lion (1989), is a 1990 version
featuring new vocals from Gabriel. "I Have the
Touch" is listed as a 1983 remix, although it
sounds enough like the remix from 1985 that many
reviewers have declared the remixes to be the
same.
One song, "Here Comes the Flood", is a new
recording from 1990. This version is a piano and
voice arrangement, that is far simpler than the
highly produced version on Peter Gabriel (1977).
Its sparseness is closer to the version that
Gabriel recorded with Robert Fripp on the latter's
album Exposure (1979). In interviews, Gabriel has
said that he preferred the 1979 version, and it
was that version with Fripp that he chose to
overdub in German as the flipside to a single
released before Ein deutsches album (1980).
Although this album highlights songs from Peter
Gabriel's earlier albums, tracks from Peter
Gabriel (II, or Scratch) and the soundtrack to the
film Birdy are not included. "In Your Eyes" is
notably missing from the compilation. Say
Anything, in which it was played in a prominent
scene, had been released the year before. Although
this made "In Your Eyes" perhaps the most well
known Peter Gabriel song aside from
"Sledgehammer," it failed to crack the top 20 and
was thus omitted from the album in favor of five
of the other eight tracks from So — four
other hits and album track "Mercy Street."
The album cover and the inside sleeve photographs
of Gabriel are by Robert Mapplethorpe from about
1986.
