Peter Gabriel – So – 180G Halfspeed Remastered Vinyl LP

Originally released in 1986, So marked a creative and commercial high point for Peter Gabriel—a masterclass in songwriting, studio innovation, and emotional storytelling. This 180g Half Speed Remastered vinyl LP presents the album with unprecedented fidelity, offering a level of transparency and control that elevates an already exceptional recording.

Half speed mastering allows the cutting engineer to work with greater accuracy, resulting in cleaner high frequencies, tighter bass, and improved transient response. On this edition, the album’s meticulously layered production truly shines: complex percussion textures snap into focus, synthesiser atmospheres expand naturally across the soundstage, and Gabriel’s voice carries added intimacy and presence.

Tracks such as Red Rain and Mercy Street reveal new depth and spatial realism, while the rhythmic drive of Sledgehammer benefits from enhanced punch and separation. The 180-gram pressing further contributes to reduced resonance and surface noise, ensuring a quiet, stable platform for high-resolution analogue playback.

For audiophiles, collectors, and long-time fans alike, this edition represents So at its most refined and emotionally engaging. A benchmark recording, presented with the care and precision it deserves.
