Title
This was Gabriel's first studio album to bear an official title from its inception. His previous regular albums were simply titled "Peter Gabriel", including 1982's Security, which was retitled by Gabriel's US label at the time, Geffen Records. Peter Gabriel said in an interview with Smash Hits in 1986 the title "doesn't mean anything. We just liked the form of the word and the two letters. That's all." Gabriel also commented on the Classic Albums documentary made on the album that he favoured a short word title as it meant the graphic could be bigger and this was useful in marketing the album.
