After signing an extensive deal with Warner Music earlier this year, Phil Collins has confirmed he plans to reissue his entire solo catalogue this fall, including hand-selected demos and remastered material.
It's part of a campaign billed as "Take a Look At Me Now," which will feature newly created album artwork for each of the musician's LPs, including his 1981 debut Face Value and his 1993 set Both Sides, which will be released first on Nov. 6, with his other records to follow.
In addition to the updated art, each LP will be remastered and extended with select demos and B-sides. “I’ve always been quite proud of my demos and have often made them available as B-sides, but with a few exceptions, I have avoided including those on these collections,” Collins said in a statement. “Instead, I’ve focused on how nicely the songs developed when played on stage, rather than showing how they originated.”
Each album will be available upon re-release in CD, digital and 180-gram audiophile vinyl formats.
