Peter Gabriel (1980 Album)
Peter Gabriel is Peter Gabriel's third album. The album contains two of Gabriel's most famous songs, the U.K. Top 10 hit "Games Without Frontiers" and the political song "Biko", about the late anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko. The album was remastered, along with most of Gabriel's catalogue, in 2002.
This album is often referred to as Melt due to its cover photograph by Hipgnosis. The photo was taken with a Polaroid SX-70 instant camera, and subsequently modified by Storm Thorgerson or Gabriel. (Thorgerson did not recall whether he or Gabriel manipulated the image.)
