Ain't That Peculiar by Peter Gabriel (RARE! unavailable on CD) [The Daily Vinyl music video #37]

The Daily Vinyl video #37: "Ain't That Peculiar" by Peter Gabriel (RARE! unavailable on CD)

Happy Valentines Day! This classic soul number was performed by Peter Gabriel in Chicago 1979. It was released on the Bristol Recorder. Which was apparently a record with a magazine attached to the gatefold sleeve and produced in Bristol, UK. This was the 2nd volume released like this. To my knowledge, this recording is NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE! (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

Peter's notes on this track (and references to 2 other live songs "Not One Of Us" and "Humdrum" for possible future TheDailyVinyl release) are as follows:
"A cassette recording featuring my Alexis Korner impersonation on the intro. The band were Tony Levin: bass. Larry Fast: synthesiser. Allan Schwartzberg: drums. Jimmy Maelen: percussion. Phil Aaberg: piano. Steve Hunter: lead guitar. Robert Fripp: rhythm guitar (partly concealed). These cassettes were dug out of the live cassette box, so the quality of sound is rough. Certain of the vocal bits made me cringe so I spent a little time 'doctoring' 'Not One Of Us' and 'Ain't That Peculiar.' In the profession, we call this cheating."

5-Star ratings are always appreciated.
