Phil Collins: Face Value Die Version auf Vinyl LP in remastered Auflage. Diese besondere Auflage wurde veröffentlicht in Europa im Verlag Atlantic am 29. Januar 2016.

Face Value" launches Phil Collins' extensive series of albums As part of an extensive series of reissues called "Take A Look At Me Now", the album "Face Value" was re-released in 2016. At the same time, the singer is re-releasing his fifth solo album "Both Sides". Six more LPs of songs from Collins' repertoire will also be released in the coming months. "Face Value" is singer Phil Collins' 1981 solo debut, marking Collins' transition from drummer and frontman for Genesis to a solo career. For the new release, all eight albums have been completely remastered and expanded with additional tracks. Above all, however, Collins added live versions to make the songs' separate developments understandable. He chose the songs himself. In addition to album and concert tracks, there are also rare demo recordings and B-sides. For example, the album "Face Value" features a demo of "Please Don't Ask" - the song Collins used to address his divorce from then-wife Andrea Bertorelli. There's also a live version of "In The Air Tonight," the album's most successful single. For the remastering, Phil Collins enlisted the help of an old friend. Nick Davis has already produced many works by Genesis and its members. Most recently, he worked on the "Genesis 1970-1975" box set. Another interesting fact about the series: all albums have been given new covers. Because of this, Phil Collins had himself re-photographed in exactly the same poses as he can be seen in on the original covers. "Face Value" is released as a double CD in digipack and as an LP on 180g vinyl. The album is also available together with "Both Sides" in the "Take A Look At Me Now" box set. This offers room for further releases in the series. Phil Collins launched his solo career in 1981 with the song "Face Value". This new remastered version shows how the songs have evolved over the years and that the originals are still great pop songs from today's perspective. Review "There are two changes on the 2016 reissue: the cover no longer features his face in his thirties, but in his fifties, and the second CD features a series of demos and live versions." (Good Times, February/March 2016) "A treat for fans - and a lot of Collins for the money." (Audio, March 2016)
