Musician, songwriter, producer, arranger, vocalist—Phil Collins does a myriad of things exceptionally well—but he’s clearly poor at one thing: retirement. A career hiatus doesn’t seem to be sitting well with Mr. Collins. In fact, he’s on stages once again performing as a tour seems to be looming, and he’s gone back through his own solo discography to shed some new light on his own catalog.
We have the first 2 LPs among a slate of reissues presently in stores—Face Value and Both Sides Now—to ship off to one of you in a handy box set. First, some official details:
“Warner Music is celebrating Phil Collins’ solo career all through 2016 with the ‘Take A Look At Me Now” retrospective campaign. During the year, the label is releasing deluxe, expanded, and remastered editions of all Collins’ storied solo albums.
Each release includes a remastered version of the original album on audiophile vinyl, and expanded 2-CD sets with a bonus disc of select demos and b-sides, and plenty of live versions of the featured songs—something Collins has said he hopes gives fans a chance to see how to the music developed over time. Collins has updated the old album covers with contemporary photos of himself.
In addition to the individual albums, there are also special LP and CD Collector’s versions, where fans can fill the boxes with the various releases as they are released all year.
The campaign launched in January with Both Sides Now and Face Value albums, followed by Hello, I Must be Going and Dance Into the Light in February. Remastered and expanded versions of Testify and the 12 million-selling No Jacket Required are due April 15.”
