I haven't time to rectify this article now but -

- Supper's Ready is not really "a song", it's a medly of 7 different songs (with some recurring music and recurring lyrical themes) - it was not "written by Gabriel"!! All the band contributed to the writing (even Phil Collins ;-)--feline1 07:34, 13 September 2005 (UTC)


who wrote the lyrics that gabriel didnt?

The other credited songwriters! --feline1 15:09, 2 November 2006 (UTC)


..yeah but credits dont say whether its lyrics or music they contributed (or both)

I say "Words: Gabriel, Ratchet / Music: Banks, Rutherford, Gabriel, Hackett, Collins". Genesis | Please sell England by the pound*** | on 18:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Well you can say what you like......on the http://www.prs.co.uk database, the offical legal songwriting credit is split equally between all 5 of them, for both music and lyrics.--feline1 15:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "and on stage the band always performed the complete piece in its entirety"

This not actually being true ("Old Medley", anyone?) I took it out, because adding "until 1982" or "frequently" to it seemed to only water it down to an unacceptable degree. Anazgnos 23:53, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Willow Farm

I'm not entirely sure what is going on here: is it "Willow Farm (an unrelated interlude" or "Willow Farm (and unrelated interlude)"? The former makes much more sense, but 2 editors appear to disagree. After pulling out both my record and first remaster, I do not even see this parenthetical portion at all. Is this only included as the portion after Willow Farm is a bit out of place with the rest of the song? If so, I believe that this should not be mentioned in the section headline, but should instead be further described within the Willow Farm section so-as not to break the titling of the article sections as it compares with the tracklist on the album itself. Any other thoughts? --Bossi (talk ;; contribs) 16:02, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I'd have to agree with Bossi. Although putting the thing in brackets serves nicely to clear up any possible confusion, at the end of the day it's just nit-picking to include it. Without it, the mirroring of the song's component pieces as listed on the album cover in the page's headings is maintained, and just looks a lot better. I'd vote for deleting the bugger, but I'll leave that to someone else. Pcgneurotic 19:40, 23 April 2007 (UTC)pcgneurotic.
Alrighty: barring any arguments against, I have removed the part and incorporated into the article text. Feel free to discuss if anyone has any significant issue with this. --Bossi (talk ;; contribs) 02:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Gabble" Ratchet?

I'm sure my copy of Foxtrot says "Gable". 193.122.47.162 19:59, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Then you have a misprinted version. Is it an LP or CD?
The original Charisma LP clearly said "Gabble". So does the remastered CD today. — Lawrence King (talk) 05:18, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Intro

I contributed a little tidbit that Peter Gabriel said about "Supper's Ready" in a 1986 radio interview on Rockline, when he said "Supper's Ready is about a journey through several different scenes from the Bible....I'll leave it at that." It has since been deleted. Why? I NAMED A SOURCE. I have the audio tape of this radio interview at home! Why was it deleted?AL9000 18:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Sources for an encyclopaedia have to be verifiable. You need to reference it with the station name, programme name, and date of broadcast, in this instance. --feline1 18:56, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

In an effort to appease the Wikipedia editor gods, I reposted Gabriel's comment, this time with station name, station's dial numbers, station's city, the *exact date* of the broadcast, along with the name of the programme....and it was deleted again.

What was the reason *this* time?AL9000 17:51, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

This is OK as a reference & I will replace it. PS - we are no more gods than are you. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 17:55, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
