It seems somehow appropriate to be skipping work today for The People United in the NYPhil's new collaborative orchestration
Peter Gabriel, So, 1986 on Geffen
One of the foundational albums of my youth – not just the “In Your Eyes” boombox scene from Say Anything, but really every track here. Sounds fantastic on vinyl. Definitely one of my desert island discs, provided I can bring a turntable.
In the UK this was issued on Charisma (PG5) and Virgin but in the US it was out on Geffen. It was reissued as a multi-CD / box set in 2012. On the basis of how great this album is I went back and learned the whole Peter Gabriel solo catalogue and even the early Genesis – on top of all the Womad / world music stuff he was also part of.
My copy, via the Worcester Record Riot, is an RCA Music Service club pressing from the RCA plant in Indianapolis.

Neil Young and the Shocking Pinks, Everybody’s Rockin’, 1983 on Geffen
Credited (as you can see on the cover and the labels) to Neil Young but also to Neil and the Shocking Pinks, this was Neil’s rockabilly album, with a band assembled just for this purpose.
I realize I’m something of a Neil Young completist, but I really enjoy this album, short as it is.
My copy—via Worcester Record Riot—is a 1983 Carrollton pressing from the Columbia House Record Club (noted on the rear jacket).

Tonight is another fun program with the NYPhil and Jean-Yves Thibaudet
Maria McKee, Maria McKee, 1989 on Geffen
This was the debut solo album from the lead singer of Lone Justice. She’s joined here by Richard Thompson and Marc Ribot on guitar and Steve Wickham on fiddle.
She’d go on to record six more solo records and some live recordings – but I don’t think any of them did very well in the US – she had more success in Europe.
My copy—via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN—is a 1989 Specialty Records pressing, with original inner liner.
