Steve Hackett says he was nervous doing the cover shoot for upcoming album Wolflight.

Speculation has grown that the artwork featuring the Genesis man and four wolves was created using Photoshop. But the guitarist says it’s genuine and that initially he was apprehensive about getting close to the animals.

He says on his website: “People have wondered if I really was with wolves on the cover picture for the forthcoming album Wolflight. The answer is yes I was!

"I felt pretty nervous at first when, on entering a large, grassy area, we were confronted by several full-sized wolves. But the owner reassured me that because they saw him as the alpha male I would't be harmed. Apparently, it would not have been so safe if he'd not been there.

“Amazingly, the wolves didn’t feel threatened when I picked up a cub and started to play with them. In fact, I had the feeling they were proud that I was so charmed by their little brood. It was even possible to feed the wolves without them biting my hand.”

And he says the only thing that was changed for the final cover art was the colours to reflect the time of day.

He continues: “The main difference between the original photo and the cover is that it was taken in daylight instead of night. The ruin location and the wolves with me are all for real.

“It was an extraordinary day which I’ll always remember. My respect for those wolves and the joy of being invited into their world will remain with me forever.”

Wolflight will launch on March 30 and will be his first original solo work since 2011’s Beyond The Shrouded Horizon.

He’ll take to the road in October across the UK for 19 dates where he’ll showcase music from throughout his career, including tracks from his debut solo album Voyage Of The Acolyte which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

Bump: This is getting a domestic release on April 7th, and I've added pre-order links to the first post. There's going to be a CD/Blu-ray set with extra tracks and a 5.1 mix of the entire album, and as I'm typing this it's only $1 more than the plain CD-only edition, so let's grab that one before the price rises.

Unless the links are switched, the CD/Blu-Ray version is $2 cheaper today!

I see that. It's impossible to tell which really is the Blu-Ray version. $12.99 is a steal if true.

Hmm ... these American pressings just went up as imports at Amazon Canada, and the pricing there also implies that the original listings were flipped, so I've now swapped the two links in the first post of our thread. Let's keep an eye on the Amazon USA pages for confirmation as to which edition is which, and pre-order cautiously (or not at all) until then.

What the heck! I ordered the other one, too. :-) Now I just need to remember to cancel one of the orders.

The Amazon link for the CD/BR edition, which is currently priced at $14.88, now shows 2 as the number of discs, so it appears that the links above are correct.

The BD Version of this sounds very nice. Nice 5.1 mix. Excellent graphics to go with the music too.
