It was remastered with most of Gabriel's catalogue in 2002. The vinyl version of the album is called Shaking the Tree: Twelve Golden Greats. Entertainment Weekly (1/11/91) - ".Peter Gabriel's forays into African, funk, folk, techno-pop, and Motown are always tempered by the theatrical sensibility he developed as a front man in the '70s for the progressive rock group Genesis..most of the tracks are more than "golden greats"-- they're some of the best rock songs of the post-punk era." - Rating: A. Q (1/91) - 4 Stars - Excellent - ".Fifteen years and 16 hit singles since Genesis, Peter Gabriel still has the touch.".
