For The First Time
Includes Seven #1s And A Further Seven Top 10 Hits
Not Dead Yet: The Memoir Is Released On October 20
Phil Collins' recent "Take A Look At Me Now" retrospective campaign was a huge success which inspired a critical re-evaluation of his back catalog as several of his albums returned to the charts. Now he turns his attention to the biggest tracks throughout his career with the release of THE SINGLES collection on October 14.
THE SINGLES charts Collins' entire solo career from his smash hit 1981 debut "In The Air Tonight" to the title track from his most recent studio album, 2010's Going Back. It encompasses seven US #1s ("Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)," "Sussudio," "One More Night," "Separate Lives," "A Groovy Kind of Love," "Two Hearts," and "Another Day In Paradise") plus a further seven Top 10 hits ("You Can't Hurry Love," "Easy Lover" with Philip Bailey, "Don't Lose My Number," "Take Me Home," "I Wish It Would Rain Down," "Something Happened On The Way To Heaven," and "Do You Remember?")
It also includes numerous other highlights from his story so far, such as his first Grammy®-nominated single "I Don't Care Anymore," "You'll Be In My Heart" which won an Oscar® for Best Original Song after featuring in the Disney film Tarzan, and numerous songs which became staples of his live shows.
As with the "Take A Look At Me Now" campaign, the album mastering process has been overseen by Nick Davis who earned a Grammy nomination for Best Surround Sound album for his work on the Genesis 1970-1975 box set. Davis has also worked on all of the Genesis retrospective reissues.
THE SINGLES will be available on three formats. The 3-CD Deluxe Edition compiles his 45 hit singles from all over the world in chronological order for the first time, while the 2-CD/4-LP boxed set compiles the 33 key tracks from his career. Both editions will also be available digitally.
THE SINGLES coincides with the release of Phil Collins' long-awaited autobiography Not Dead Yet: The Memoir. Set to be published by Penguin Random House on October 20 and currently available to pre-order via Amazon, this is the rollercoaster journey from his beginnings as a child actor to his domination of the charts both as a solo artist and part of Genesis.
