'''''Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats''''' was released in 1990 as [[Peter Gabriel]]'s first "[[greatest hits]]" album, including songs from his first solo album ''[[Peter Gabriel (I)|Peter Gabriel]]'' (I or ''Car'') (1977), through ''[[Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ]]'' (1989). It was remastered with most of Gabriel's catalog in 2002.
'''''Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats''''' is a [[compilation album]] by the English [[rock music|rock]] musician [[Peter Gabriel]]. It was released in 1990 as Gabriel's first career retrospective, including songs from his first solo album ''[[Peter Gabriel (I)|Peter Gabriel]]'' (I or ''Car'') (1977), through ''[[Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ]]'' (1989). It was remastered with most of Gabriel's catalogue in 2002. The vinyl version of the album is called ''Shaking the Tree: Twelve Golden Greats''.

For the album packaging, Gabriel decided to forgo [[longbox]]es that allowed for CD cases to fit in racks constructed for [[phonographic record|vinyl records]] in favor of a [[optical disc packaging#Jewel box|jewel box]] as a means of reducing waste.<ref>{{cite book|last=Knopper|first=Steve|title=Appetite for Self-Destruction|url=https://archive.org/details/appetiteforselfd00knop_0|url-access=registration|year=2009|publisher=Free Press|pages=[https://archive.org/details/appetiteforselfd00knop_0/page/37 37–38]}}</ref><ref name="Experiencing">{{Cite book |last=Bowman |first=Durrell |title=Experiencing Peter Gabriel: A Listener's Companion |date=2 September 2016 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=9781442252004 |location=Lanham, Maryland |page=151}}</ref>

==Track selection==
The tracks are creatively re-ordered, ignoring chronology. Some of the tracks were different from the album versions. New parts were recorded for several tracks in Gabriel's Real World Studios. Most songs are edited for time, either as radio, single, or video edit versions. "Shaking the Tree"—a track from [[Youssou N'Dour]]'s 1989 album ''The Lion''—is a 1990 version featuring new vocals from Gabriel. "[[I Have the Touch]]" is listed as a 1983 [[remix]], although it sounds enough like the remix from 1985 that many reviewers have declared the remixes to be the same.

"[[Shaking the Tree (song)|Shakin' the Tree]]"—a track from [[Youssou N'Dour]]'s 1989 album ''[[The Lion (album)|The Lion]]''—is a 1990 version featuring new vocals from Gabriel (and slightly revised title). "[[I Have the Touch]]" is listed as a 1983 [[remix]], although it is actually the 1985 remix which appeared on the "[[Sledgehammer (Peter Gabriel song)|Sledgehammer]]" single. (The 1985 remix is similar to the 1983 remix, which appeared as the B-side of the "Walk Through the Fire" single, but is edited down to 3m 45s)<ref name="ES">{{Cite book |last=Scarfe |first=Graeme |title=Peter Gabriel: Every Album, Every Song |publisher=SonicBond |year=2021 |isbn=978-1-78952-138-2 |location=United Kingdom |pages=122–123}}</ref>


"Here Comes the Flood" is a new recording from 1990. This version is a piano and voice arrangement, that is far simpler than the highly produced version on ''[[Peter Gabriel (I)|Peter Gabriel]]'' (1977). Its sparseness is closer to the version that Gabriel recorded with [[Robert Fripp]] on Fripp's ''[[Exposure (Robert Fripp album)|Exposure]]'' (1979). In interviews, Gabriel has said that he preferred the 1979 version, and it was that version with Fripp that he chose to overdub in German as the flipside to a single released before ''[[Ein deutsches album]]'' (1980).

Although this album highlights songs from Peter Gabriel's earlier albums, tracks from ''[[Peter Gabriel (II)|Peter Gabriel]]'' (II, or ''Scratch'') and the soundtrack to the film ''[[Birdy (film)|Birdy]]'' are not included. "[[In Your Eyes (Peter Gabriel song)|In Your Eyes]]" is notably missing from the compilation. ''[[Say Anything (film)|Say Anything]]'', in which it was played in a prominent scene, had been released the year before. Although this made "In Your Eyes" perhaps the most well known Peter Gabriel song aside from "[[Sledgehammer (song)|Sledgehammer]]", it failed to crack the top 20 and was thus omitted from the album in favour of five of the other eight tracks from ''[[So (album)|So]]''—four other hits and album track "Mercy Street".

"In Your Eyes" was therefore omitted from the album in favour of five of the other eight tracks from ''[[So (album)|So]]'' – four other hits and the album track "[[Mercy Street]]".

Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats is a compilation album by the English rock musician Peter Gabriel. It was released in 1990 as Gabriel's first career retrospective, including songs from his first solo album Peter Gabriel (I or Car) (1977), through Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ (1989). It was remastered with most of Gabriel's catalogue in 2002. The vinyl version of the album is called Shaking the Tree: Twelve Golden Greats.

For the album packaging, Gabriel decided to forgo longboxes that allowed for CD cases to fit in racks constructed for vinyl records in favor of a jewel box as a means of reducing waste.[6][7]

Track selection

[edit]

The tracks are creatively re-ordered, ignoring chronology. Some of the tracks were different from the album versions. New parts were recorded for several tracks in Gabriel's Real World Studios. Most songs are edited for time, either as radio, single, or video edit versions. "Shakin' the Tree"—a track from Youssou N'Dour's 1989 album The Lion—is a 1990 version featuring new vocals from Gabriel (and slightly revised title). "I Have the Touch" is listed as a 1983 remix, although it is actually the 1985 remix which appeared on the "Sledgehammer" single. (The 1985 remix is similar to the 1983 remix, which appeared as the B-side of the "Walk Through the Fire" single, but is edited down to 3m 45s)[8]

"Here Comes the Flood" is a new recording from 1990. This version is a piano and voice arrangement, that is far simpler than the highly produced version on Peter Gabriel (1977). Its sparseness is closer to the version Gabriel recorded with Robert Fripp on Fripp's Exposure (1979). In interviews, Gabriel has said that he preferred the 1979 version, which he also chose to overdub in German as the flipside of the single "Biko" released before Ein deutsches Album (1980).[9]

Although this album highlights songs from Peter Gabriel's earlier albums, tracks from Peter Gabriel (II, or Scratch) and the soundtrack to the film Birdy are not included.[8] "In Your Eyes" is missing from the compilation.[7] Say Anything..., in which it was played in a prominent scene, had been released the year before. Although this made "In Your Eyes" perhaps the most well known Peter Gabriel song aside from "Sledgehammer" in the U.S., it was not released as a single in Peter Gabriel's UK homeland. "In Your Eyes" was therefore omitted from the album in favour of five of the other eight tracks from So – four other hits and the album track "Mercy Street".
