Answered the phone to hear,
Peter: Hi this is Peter Gabriel, is Wayne in?
Me: No
Peter: Can you have him call me. I need him to come to New York for some horn work.
Me: Sure
Wayne Jackson was my roommate, and he arranged and played horns on So. He brought me a cassette with no vocals. Pretty cool.
First album I ever bought, I saw a girl buying a copy in HMV and thought it must be cool (because she was hot and I was 15) … still play it regularly, great album, the hot girl was right!
Big time, from a song, construction standpoint, is the best song on that album. Incredibly clever composition with a great baseline and incredible fusion with the drums
One of my all-time fave albums (aside from the sibilance on a few tracks, regardless of format). Not a dud song on the whole album - it’s up there with John Cale’s album ‘Artificial Intelligence’ on that front.
Had that album at a time when life raising a family was a struggle. Don’t Give Up resonated, and the rest were all wonderfully crafted songs by a great artist.

was it cluelessness or sabotage on the part of the creative team? I have no idea.

One of my favs.
Unrelated to So, I caught PG twice on the US Tour in ‘93. It was absolutely amazing!
“Don’t Give Up” always feels like a hug from loving parents.
Man listen to my dude SOAR on this LP.

If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back
I'll be anything you need
Had to play the song after I read this thread. :)
