Two CD collection containing both of his cult classic electronic albums 'Emotional Disguise' (1982) and 'Correspondence' (1983). Plus all the spin-off singles and remixes from his time at Polydor, between 1981 and 1983, when he was one of the stylish lynchpins of the burgeoning New Wave / New Romantic scene! Mostly produced by Georg Kajanus from the bands Sailor and DATA, Peter's repertoire is synth- pop opulence, grandiose in scale and intent. Swoon in the melodic vastness, the majestic sweeps of lush, layered analogue synths. It is unmistakably ear-worm electronic pop, but with cinematic intimations of gloriously exotic other worlds. It presents, at times, as if an electronic travelogue of emotion fronted by the rich baritone of a suave matinée idol troubadour whose influences were unashamedly Moroder, Bowie and Ferry. It is arguably his highly sought after sensuous debut single, the Midge Ure produced 'Torch Songs For The Heroine', which has endured; the hidden gem of the 'Ballad Version' of which bristles with a redolence of Ultravox's 'Vienna' and it's landmark atmospheric, filmic, synth-pop sparseness. The release comes with a 28-page booklet containing both an introduction and comprehensive track-by-track listening notes written by Peter Godwin along with full lyrics and evocative period photographs.

Unlike in the States, music hall had a much longer life span in the U.K., kept alive at summer season seaside shows, its influence percolating out as far as punk – think Ian Dury & the Blockheads, and even into Two Tone via Madness. Sailor represented the best of this tradition, from their sailor caps to their bell bottom trousers, their port of call stage set, and their sing-along songs.
