Dave Marsh was right-on when pinning this rock classic at #159 in his list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul. As he says in explaining his choice,
["Solsbury Hill" is] Rock's greatest resignation speech... one of the most nakedly emotional records anyone's created in the past [forty] years.
What's perhaps just as extraordinary is that... "Solsbury Hill" encapsulates the next decade or so of Peter Gabriel's career. This is a record that makes bold promises and if its power has grown over the years (and it started out powerful enough), it's not only because it offers such strong inspiration whenever you need to summon the courage to make a tough move yourself. It's because Gabriel has lent it further resonance with every move he's made.

Couldn't have said it better myself! ;-) By the way, this 45 version is specially edited from a longer (4:20) album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint sound.
