Peter Gabriel: “Live At WOMAD 1982” comes this July

Included will be individual tracks from the various artists who performed back then. Included are Robert Fripp, Peter Hammill, Simple Minds, The Chieftains and of course world music artists like The Drummers of Burundi, The Musicians of the Nile and Ekome. Peter Gabriel is represented with two tracks: I Have the Touch and Biko(together with Ekome).

The album will be released on double CD and LP, with the LP containing two tracks less.

According to the press release, it was a challenge in “overcoming many technical challenges to ensure these vital, historic performances were saved.” The 40 years old audio tapes needed to be restored.

You can find more details on the Rough Trade website including a complete track list. The album will be available everywhere and is also for sale in the Real World Shop here.
