This was the end of the idea of me being a sort of cult artist at the fringes of the mainstream. There wasn’t an option to go and hide in the shadows anymore.”\u003cbr\u003eExclusive for Record Store Day 2026, Peter Gabriel’s Sledgehammer single is being re-issued to celebrate its 40th anniversary. The music replicates the original Sledgehammer 12” release but comes as a zoetrope picture disc, using images taken from the ground-breaking video.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable INSTORE - Saturday 18th April 2026 - 8am Brisbane Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable ONLINE - Monday 20th April 2026 - 9am Brisbane Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e'Add to Cart' Button\u003c\/strong\u003e as been disabled until they are available to purchase online\u003cbr\u003eVinyl details, Pricing and Artwork NOT Final until those dates\u003cbr\u003e_____________________________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBRAND NEW VINYL - FACTORY SEALED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelove Oxley - Vintage, Vinyl and Collectibles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoogle Us for more Information\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Sledgehammer (extended mix)\u003cbr\u003eB1 Don't Break This Rhythm\u003cbr\u003eB2 I Have the Touch (85 remix)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brand New Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43720948056129,"sku":"PGSR112","price":54.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0033\/6714\/1440\/files\/Peter-Gabriel.jpg?v=1774837752","url":"https:\/\/shop.reloveoxley.com\/products\/new-peter-gabriel-sledgehammer-zoetrope-lp-rsd2026","provider":"Relove Oxley - Vintage, Vinyl \u0026 Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
