Shaking The Tree - 16 Golden Greats Remastered

I ended up getting this used, "like new". It came fast and in great condition. No complaints. A lot of great songs on this one, nice addition to my music collection.

Really great CD. If you are or were ever fan, buy it.

"Shaking The Tree" is an excellent collection of the talented singer and songwriter's music. Much of his best released work is her, along with newer versions of some of his songs.This collection has "Solsbury Hill," "Sledgehammer," "San Jacinto," "Mercy Street," "Don't Give Up," and others. An unreleased standout is the alternate version of " I Have The Touch," a rare case when the alternate version far exceeds the original.Truly, "In Your Eyes," and later Gabriel songs like "Steam" and "The Blood of Eden" aren't on here, but this collection is a great collection nonetheless, and is a great beginning primer for new fans of Gabriel's work.

CD came in excellent condition... just as shown and promised. Arrived quickly. Great costumer service!

Love the hit songs

I readily admit to being an 'old school' music fan - I prefer albums (is a CD still called an album?) to singles, and so I typically avoid compilations. You won't find many "Greatest Hits" in my collection. "Shaking the Tree" is one of my few exceptions to that rule. Well it's not exactly a rule, more like a guideline really.Several of the tracks are different than the original album versions, either edited or re-mixed, including "Here Comes the Flood" and the title track. So there is the completist challenge.More importantly, the 16 tracks give the novice Peter Gabriel listener an idea of the vast scope of his work. Covering a range of topics from personal emotions to social awareness, Gabriel uses every line to his advantage.For the veteran Gabriel fan, "Shaking the Tree" can give one the opportunity to become re-acquainted with his lyrical artistry. Sometimes sharp, almost bitter tales of isolation and alienation (Family Snapshot, Don't Give Up) are counter-balanced with tongue-in-cheek humor (Sledgehammer, Big Time)."Shaking the Tree" has a favored spot in my extensive commute-time rotation.

Love this guys music

I wouldn't pretend to be a music critic or even a Peter Gabriel affectionado. I bought the CD entirely because of one song: Biko. To me, this is the ultimate statement by any artist ever of what being an artist is all about. And, above all else, it's about caring what happens in the world. Nothing I have ever read, seen or heard expresses that caring more eloquently or more powerfully than Biko. I'm almost ashamed to say I haven't even listened to any of the other songs on the CD (though, like most casual listeners, I am at least marginally familar with his work). I owe it to his artistry to listen to the rest of the CD; and I will some day. Just not yet.

It was fine

Amazing artist,amazing album.
