Peter Gabriel has released an early live version of his debut solo single "Solsbury Hill," which appears on a new digital collection of rarities.
The track was recorded at the Bottom Line in New York on Oct. 4, 1978, a year after it appeared on his self-titled first album. It's now part of Flotsam and Jetsam, which is available now.
You can listen to "Solsbury Hill" below.
"Over 60 tracks are featured, mostly all of which have been previously released physically, either on 7", 12" or CD singles, soundtrack or tribute albums, but, with a few exceptions, are being released digitally for the first time," said a statement on Gabriel's website, which noted that the collection is split into three eras.
"The first, 1976-1985, covers the period from Peter first going solo to the end of his run of four self-titled solo albums. ... The second, 1986-1993, are Peter's pop-star years with music released around the albums So and Us. The third era is 1994-2016 and features remixes from the Up album, plus tracks used in various films and notable cover versions. It ends with Peter's song 'The Veil', written especially for the Oliver Stone movie Snowden."
The collection also includes some previously unreleased tracks, like an extended version of "Slowburn" from the debut, a full version of "Don't Break This Rhythm" (an edit was included on the B-side to "Sledgehammer") and a pair of songs featured on the Music Industry Trust Awards CD Uscita: "Curtains (Broad Mix)" and "Father, Son (Daniel Lanois and Richard Chappell Mix)."
