Peter Gabriel 3 / Melt / full album / 1980

The third eponymous solo studio album by English rock musician Peter Gabriel, released on 30 May 1980.

Gabriel also explored more overtly political material with two of his most famous singles, the anti-war song “Games Without Frontiers“ (which became a No. 4 hit and remains his joint highest-charting single in the UK) and the anti-apartheid protest song “Biko“, which remembered the murdered activist Steve Biko. ** Personnel - * Peter Gabriel – vocals, piano; synthesizer on “Start“, “I Don’t Remember“, “Games Without Frontiers“ and “Not One of Us“; drum pattern on “Biko“; backing vocals on “Intruder“, “Family Snapshot“ and “Not One of Us“; whistle on “Games Without Frontiers“ Larry Fast – synthesizer on “Intruder“,
