Cultural Facts:

1. This album, released in the U.S. under the title Security, marked Peter Gabriel’s fourth solo studio effort and his first major exploration into world-music influences and digital recording techniques. 

2. The U.S. pressing on Geffen Records (catalogue GHS 2011) was manufactured by Specialty Records Corporation, making the matrix details and label variant important to collectors. 

3. Tracks like “Shock the Monkey” and “San Jacinto” reflect Gabriel’s thematic interest in psychological tension and cultural displacement, fitting between his pop accessible and avant-leaning phases.

4. This record sits in a transitional period similar to how Kate Bush moved into more expansive sonic territory after her early success — listeners of Bush might find this Gabriel pressing a natural follow-up.
