Original UK progressive rock magazine featuring Peter Gabriel, an exclusive interview, additional illustrated cover and Prognosis 7 promotional CD sleeve.

A collectable March 2010 edition of Classic Rock Presents Prog, published by Future Publishing, with legendary musician Peter Gabriel as the main cover star.

This issue celebrates Gabriel's remarkable career, his experimental approach to music and his influence on progressive rock, particularly through his work with Genesis and his successful solo career.

The photographs show the main magazine, an additional Peter Gabriel illustrated cover and the accompanying Prognosis 7 promotional CD sleeve.

Main Cover – Peter Gabriel

The main cover features a large, striking portrait of Peter Gabriel, photographed facing directly towards the reader.

Gabriel is pictured with closely cropped hair and a short grey beard, wearing dark clothing. His portrait dominates the centre of the cover.

The background incorporates a colourful psychedelic collage of performers, musicians and theatrical imagery, with dramatic orange, yellow, red and purple radiating patterns.

This design reflects the elaborate theatrical performances and experimental visual presentation associated with progressive rock.

Large white PROG lettering dominates the top of the magazine, with the Classic Rock Presents logo positioned above it.

The principal headline reads:

PETER GABRIEL – THE PROGFATHER SPEAKS!

The accompanying cover lines advertise an exclusive new interview exploring Gabriel's solo albums and the stories behind their creation.

A quotation attributed to Gabriel appears above the main headline, referring to making and breaking rules.

The overall cover is particularly attractive to collectors of Peter Gabriel, Genesis and classic progressive rock memorabilia.

Additional Peter Gabriel Cover

The photographs also show a separate illustrated Classic Rock Presents Prog cover featuring a dramatic close-up portrait of Peter Gabriel.

This cover uses warm orange, amber and red tones, with Gabriel's face filling almost the entire page.

The portrait has strong shadows around the eyes and facial features, creating an atmospheric and slightly mysterious appearance.

Radiating orange lines extend from the background, giving the artwork a distinctive psychedelic quality.

The headline reads:

HERE COMES THE FLOOD! – PETER GABRIEL OPENS UP

A quotation about artists being mischievous appears above the headline.

This additional cover provides an attractive alternative design and adds further interest for collectors of Peter Gabriel-related publications.

Peter Gabriel – Main Feature

The central feature focuses on Peter Gabriel, the British singer, songwriter and musician who first achieved international recognition as the original lead vocalist of Genesis.

During his years with Genesis, Gabriel became known for his theatrical stage performances, elaborate costumes and distinctive storytelling.

Following his departure from Genesis in 1975, he established an influential solo career, exploring progressive rock, electronic music, world music and experimental production techniques.

The magazine advertises an exclusive interview discussing his creative approach, musical experimentation and solo recordings.

His best-known solo work includes albums such as Peter Gabriel, Security, So and Us, alongside songs including Solsbury Hill, Games Without Frontiers, Sledgehammer and In Your Eyes.

This issue is particularly appealing to readers interested in Gabriel's musical development and his wider influence on progressive rock.

Trevor Rabin – Yes Exclusive

The upper cover headline advertises:

YES EXCLUSIVE – TREVOR RABIN REVEALS ALL!

Trevor Rabin is a South African musician, guitarist, songwriter and producer who became an important member of the progressive rock band Yes.

He was particularly associated with the band's commercially successful 1980s period, including the album 90125.
