Peter Gabriel — Peter Gabriel 2 (Scratch)

180-gram vinyl with album download included

Jacket artwork with Hipgnosis-designed cover

Four-page booket insert mirroring the original

Peter Gabriel's second self-titled debut album, affectionately known as Scratch, due to the iconic Hipgnosis designed cover. This is a 1LP black vinyl release that comes with sleeve artwork and 4-page booklet insert as per the original LP release. The album comes with a download card with a choice of digital download (Hi-Res 24/96k or 16/44.1k) Recorded throughout the winter of 1977-78 in the Netherlands and New York City, the second self-titled album was released in June 1978.

Robert Fripp, the guitarist on the first record, was promoted to the producer's chair and continued to feed Peter's growing fascination with electronics and new recording techniques. The resulting album is a denser, more experimental album than the debut.

"We recorded the second album in Holland were we started to get to know each other a lot more as musicians," Gabriel says. "At that time there were less people in the studio and we started, in this isolated environment of the Dutch studio, to interact in a different way, and I think some of the band chemistry began to form."
