Shortly to be released (if not already at time of reading) are these four vinyl editions of Peter Gabriel ‘Live’ recordings. A couple (‘Plays Live’ and ‘Secret World Live’) had been designed to a large extent previously so only a nip and tuck with a little extra was needed for those, although both were remade using rescanned and rephotographed artwork so the best presentation was achieved. ‘Growing Up Live’ and ‘Live in Athens 1987’ were an entirely new build, using fantastic photography by Armando Gallo and Guido Harari throughout.
Mario Batkovic
Mario Batkovic is a Swiss virtuoso solo accordion player born in Bosnia. His playing can be challenging and experimental, yet it maintains a masterfully beautiful quality. Wanting to avoid the usual clichés, the sleeve is an extreme close up of the accordion almost to the point of minimalist ambiguity which, hopefully, reflects the sounds enclosed. Mario Batkovic’ double LP and CD is available from Invada Records
