Phil Collins: Face Value

La storia

Sinossi in inglese

Face Value is the debut studio album by English drummer and singer-songwriter Phil Collins, released on 13 February 1981, by Virgin Records in the United Kingdom and Atlantic Records in North America. After separating from his first wife around 1979, Collins began to write songs during a break in activity from Genesis, with much of the material concerning his personal life. The album was recorded from mid-1980 to early 1981 with Collins and Hugh Padgham as producers. Face Value was an instant commercial success and reached No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart for three weeks and No. 7 on the US Billboard 200. It has since sold over five million copies in the US and over 1.5 million in the UK. The Blu-ray audio features the album newly mixed in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and stereo by Steven Wilson. It also features the original stereo mix (2016 remaster) in high resolution uncompressed audio.
