Article: The Best Version Of… Peter Gabriel’s So


Recommended Posts

"...the TBVO crown for Peter Gabriel’s So is resoundingly awarded to the ‘12 hi-res download."

 

Great article! But by the time I got to the punch line I'd lost track of the contenders. Perhaps due to a late night read.

 

I purchased the collection of 180 gram Vinyl 45RPM Half-Speed Remasters specifically to get access to the the Hi-Res Download Cards that were included. (Peter Gabriel 1, Peter Gabriel 2, Peter Gabriel 3, Peter Gabriel 4, So, Up, Us). I don't own a turntable.

 

Are those downloads the same as the TBVO crown quoted above?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

P.S. those LPs are available for sale if anyone's interested. They've never been played and I never got around to listing them anywhere.

The ‘16 download I mention is the one that camemwith the vinyl. 

 

Speaking of which, someone over at SHF told me they were sent that ‘16 24/96 download when they submitted the code from their 25th anniversary box. If that happens, make sure you email back Real World and say you want the 25th anniversary 24/48 download.

 

Thank you Josh.

 

I looked closely at the files on my archive drive, and was surprised to find two copies of So. Somehow I'd completely forgotten about this.

 

PG1 (WAVE 24/96, Date Created 04/01/15)
PG2 (WAVE 24/96, Date Created 04/01/15)
PG3 (WAVE 24/96, Date Created 04/09/15)
PG4 (WAVE 24/96, Date Created 04/02/15)
So (WAVE 24/96, Date Created 08/04/16)
So (FLAC 24/48, Remastered 2012, Date Created 10/15/12)
Up (WAVE 24/44, Date Created 08/04/16)
Us (WAVE 24/96, Date Created 08/04/16)

 

When I purchased the collection of 180 gram Vinyl  45RPM Half-Speed Remasters with Hi-Res Download Cards, the downloads resulted in .zip files that unpacked into WAVE files.

 

So I must have purchased the FLAC version of So independently, and probably before (?) the Vinyl Collection was made available.

 

Does that look like the correct one?

 

Thanks!
