]]>When Peter Gabriel recorded a version of Elbows 'Mirrorball' on his last album 'Scratch My Back' it was only a matter of time before Elbow returned the favour.

Peter Gabriel's 'Scratch My Back' project was conceived as a collaborative enterprise between Peter and the bands he chose to cover.

He would cover one of their songs, and they would cover one of his in return, creating a further collaboration 'I'll scratch yours' scheduled for release next year.

The build up to the album release will see one track being made available on every full moon, this month being the turn of Elbow with their cover of 'Mercy Street'.

You can now preview the cover and watch an excellent documentary - featuring Guy talking about the project - right here on Peter Gabriel's website.
