{"product_id":"collins-phil-face-value-1","title":"Collins, Phil - Face Value","description":"\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1981, \u003cem\u003eFace Value\u003c\/em\u003e transformed \u003cstrong\u003ePhil Collins\u003c\/strong\u003e from the drummer of Genesis into a global solo phenomenon. The album is an intensely personal piece of work written around the time of his divorce from his first wife. Rather than opting for pure pop escapism Collins leaned into raw vulnerability, expertly blending elements of soul, art-pop, and R\u0026amp;B into a cohesive, personal masterpiece. The record is perhaps most famous for its revolutionary production, specifically the \"gated reverb\" drum sound that went on to define the sonic aesthetic of the 1980s. This is best heard on the centerpiece, \"In the Air Tonight,\" which remains the most celebrated drum fill in rock history. Collins showcased remarkable range by incorporating the Phenix Horns (of Earth, Wind \u0026amp; Fire) to bring a vibrant funk influence to tracks like \"I Missed Again.\" This genre-bending approach allowed him to balance the minimalist folk of \"The Roof Is Leaking\" with an experimental cover of The Beatles' \"Tomorrow Never Knows.\" Ultimately, Face Value didn't just launch a solo career; it proved that a \"divorce record\" could be both deeply avant-garde and commercially massive. - A brand-new interview with Phil talking about the album - Rare, stripped back performances of In The Air Tonight and The Roof Is Leaking from The Other Secret Policeman's Ball featuring Phil and guitarist Daryl Stuermer - Two previously unreleased live performances from Perkins Palace in 1982 and Irvine Meadows in 1985 - An unreleased outtake of Phil's experimental cover of The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows - An previously unreleased full version of Over The Rainbow, of which there is an excerpt at the end of the original album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull Length Vinyl 1\u003cbr\u003eSide A:\t\u003cbr\u003e01\tIn the Air Tonight (2015 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e02\tThis Must Be Love (2015 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e03\tBehind the Lines (2015 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e04\tThe Roof Is Leaking (2015 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e05\tDroned (2015 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e06\tHand in Hand (2015 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003eSide B\u003cbr\u003e01\tI Missed Again (2015 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e02\tYou Know What I Mean (2015 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e03\tThunder and Lightning (2015 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e04\tI'm Not Moving (2015 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e05\tIf Leaving Me Is Easy (2015 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e06\tTomorrow Never Knows (2015 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003eFull Length Vinyl 2\u003cbr\u003eSide A\t\u003cbr\u003e01\tMisunderstanding (Live 2004)\u003cbr\u003e02\tIf Leaving Me Is Easy (Live at Berklee College, Boston, MA 1985)\u003cbr\u003e03\tIn the Air Tonight (Live)\u003cbr\u003e04\tBehind the Lines (Live 2004)\u003cbr\u003eSide B \u003cbr\u003e01\tHand in Hand (Live in Paris, France 1997)\u003cbr\u003e02\tI Missed Again (Live 2004)\u003cbr\u003e03\t...And so to F (Live 1982)\u003cbr\u003eFull Length Vinyl 3\u003cbr\u003eSide A\t\u003cbr\u003e01\tIn the Air Tonight (Live at Other Secret Policeman's Ball)\u003cbr\u003e02\tThe Roof Is Leaking (Live at Other Secret Policeman's Ball)\u003cbr\u003e03\tThis Must Be Love (Live at Irvine Meadows, Irvine, CA, 1985)\u003cbr\u003e04\tYou Know What I Mean (Live at Perkins Palace, Pasadena, CA, 1982)\u003cbr\u003eSide B \u003cbr\u003e01\tIn the Air Tonight (Ben Liebrand Extended Version)\u003cbr\u003e02\tThe Roof Is Leaking (Nicka's Stella Polaris Interpretation)\u003cbr\u003e03\tTomorrow Never Knows (Outtake)\u003cbr\u003e04\tOver the Rainbow (Full Version)\u003cbr\u003eFull Length Vinyl 4\u003cbr\u003eSide A\t\u003cbr\u003e01\tThe Roof Is Leaking (Demo)\u003cbr\u003e02\tThis Must Be Love (Demo)\u003cbr\u003e03\tPlease Don't Ask (Demo)\u003cbr\u003e04\tMisunderstanding (Demo)\u003cbr\u003e05\tAgainst All Odds (Demo)\u003cbr\u003eSide B \u003cbr\u003e01\tPlease Don't Break My Heart (Demo)\u003cbr\u003e02\tIf Leaving Me Is Easy (Demo)\u003cbr\u003e03\tI Missed Again (Demo)\u003cbr\u003e04\tIn the Air Tonight (Demo)\u003cbr\u003e05\tHand In Hand (Demo)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rhino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50079107874954,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0361\/4955\/9434\/files\/603497807345.jpg?v=1787523035","url":"https:\/\/afkbooksandrecords.com\/products\/collins-phil-face-value-1","provider":"AFK Books \u0026 Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
