Genesis: Peter Gabriel Talks
Barbara Charone, NME, 13 October 1973
THE MUSIC world rarely awakens before noon, but I met Peter Gabriel at the unlikely hour of 9.30 a.m. Genesis, having finished their 'Selling England By The Pound' album, were rehearsing the new show. The man was looking veary-eyed as he ate buttered toast and sipped a coffee - the living proof that rock is all late-night rave-ups.
