Javier Macías-Burdick This is one of my favorite Peter Gabriel's songs and it is amazing to hear an early version of it that is totally different from the album and final version. It would be great to know the reason/decision process that he went through that make him arrive to the final version.

sahlender Love to listen to those songs in their infantry. If you listen closely you will found all elements of the full grown up song are already there from the beginning. Some are still buried under other musical ideas, some sticking their heads out already and just needed to be carved out of the surrounding arrangement. Favorite track: Family Snapshot early incarnation.

jenniem Goodness, the pic of that tape takes me back to Trilion Video which had the same logo as its sister company, where I spent hours watching the monitors as huge reels of 2 inch tape spooled forwards and backwards.. Now my son shoots and edits music videos *on his phone*. Oh, brave new world. Favorite track: Family Snapshot early incarnation.
