Please Don't Touch! is the second studio album by English guitarist and songwriter Steve Hackett. It was released in April 1978 on Charisma Records, and it is his first album released after leaving the progressive rock band Genesis in 1977. Hackett had released Voyage of the Acolyte (1975) during his time in Genesis

Steve Hackett left Genesis in June 1977 (following the tour that would be documented on Seconds Out), and started his solo career in earnest with Please Don't Touch. Unlike Voyage of the Acolyte, which was a largely instrumental concept album steeped in the progressive rock idiom, this record is primarily a collection of songs featuring guest vocalists Richie Havens, Randy Crawford, and Kansas' Steve Walsh (their Phil Ehart also chips in here on drums). Although the sum effect is something of a patchwork, the individual pieces are often lovely

In May 1978 Steve Hackett released Please Don’t Touch, his second solo album and his first after he left Genesis. Like Peter Gabriel on his debut Steve wanted to include as many musical styles as possible and create a crossover from white and black music. He therefore recorded one half of the album in the UK and the other half in the United States. In 2005, Please Don't Touch! was remastered and re-released by Hackett's Camino Records label.

Notes

Released in a standard jewelbox with a 8 page booklet including full lyrics.

Similar to Nimbus pressed: Steve Hackett - Please Don't Touch!

Recorded at Cherokee Studios, Kingsway Studios, Record Plant & De Lane Lea Studios between November 1977 and February 1978.

Track 1 based on the childrenbook "The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe" by C.S. Lewis.

Track 8: For maximum effect this track should be listened to as loudly as possible with as much treble and bass as your system can muster - not to be played to people with heart conditions or those in severely hallucinogenic states of mind.

There is a gap between track 7 & 8, whereas the tracks are supposed to be running into each other like on the original vinyl releases.
