Peter Gabriel’s live albums set for vinyl reissue
Peter Gabriel’s Plays Live, Live In Athens 1987, Secret World Live and Growing Up Live are to be released over a four-month span

Four of Peter Gabriel’s live albums are to be reissued later this year on vinyl.
Plays Live, Live In Athens 1987, Secret World Live and Growing Up Live have all been remastered at half-speed and cut to lacquers at 33RPM by Matt Colton at Alchemy Mastering.
All four have been mastered by Tony Cousins at Metropolis and overseen by Peter Gabriel’s sound engineer Richard Chappell.
Each album will also come with a hi-resolution download code and will be released through Real World/Caroline International/ADA.
The first in the series will be 1983’s Plays Live which will be released on August 28 on double vinyl. That’ll be followed on September 25 by another double vinyl: Live In Athens 1987, which was recorded in the Greek capital on Gabriel’s tour in support of his fifth solo album, So.
October 23 will see 1993’s Secret World arrive on 2LP, while Growing Up Live from 2003 will be reissued as a triple album pressing.
