Singles to promote i/o
As i/o (the album) is being promoted every month in Spain there are for example several music websites where the news "a new PG song" appears every month.
Which single would you use to promote the album?
i/o, Olive Tree, Road To Joy...¿?
It's clear that PG is using a new way to promote the album that differs from the DISCO + TOUR of many bands.
Hi, from what I have been able to read on the German forum there is a discussion about the price of T-shirts that are boring in design and very expensive.
The ones from redbuble.com have a square design on the front and back. I don't like them.
There is talk that they could have made a design of T-shirts related to the artwork associated with each song ...i.e. give more variety to the designs....

Jon Mellencamp, American singer-songwriter in the vein of Lucinda Williams and Bruce Springsteen, recently presented his new album, ORPHEUS DESCENDING.
In the following address you can find information about this album:
Perhaps the fact of presenting i/o at WOMAD gives us reason to think that i/o is close...¿?
It's true. in all the previous tours except the one with sTing, some of the performances were recorded on dvd (later Blu-Ray).
It would be interesting to see and hear how the songs look like in this format of image and sound.
And the LP/cd should not take much longer, although it is true that as of the full moon in December there would be 13 songs, and I think Tony Levin said they had worked on 16 songs!!! I/o would be out in April 2024?
Personally I hope the cd/LP will be released soon. I think all the i/o songs are already there.
Which ones do you think will be released as a single?
I can't imagine a double cd with both versions Dark & Bright, it would be the same dog with a different collar.
Another question: Will there be a video of any song, and Blue_Ray of any concert of the tour?
What was Peter Gabriel looking for at Womad to listen to i/o? The response on the tour has been very good.
That the i/o tour programme (Real World Store) arrives in Spain for 19,20 euros which is three times the price of a music magazine in Spain...!!!!
On the website etsy.com you can find unofficial i/o tour t-shirts for around 16 euros or so.
Hi, there has been a lot of talk about merchandising for the PG i/o tour concerts.
Personally the price of the tour program seems expensive if you come from England to Spain, the taxes you have to pay.
The t-shirts in the Real World shop are interesting but there is a lack of large sizes...and with the extra shipping cost from the UK to Spain.
In particular there is a website (redbubble.com) where you can find t-shirts at a good price...
And I couldn't resist playing the PRINCE original, which is also superb!
