Album Notes Personnel includes: Phil Collins (vocals, drums); Daryl Steurmer, Stephen Bishop, Shankar. Atlantic's Gold Standard Audiophile Compact Discs are gold-plated CDs that boast 20-bit digital reproduction technology for improved dynamics. Each reissue comes in a mini-box that includes the CD jewel box plus a 24-page color booklet featuring new liner notes, photographs and the complete original album artwork. The risk that Phil Collins took in displaying painful lyrics at an obviously harrowing time could have been taken as self-indulgence, but 18 years on this album is still seen as his best and most assured. The Genesis drummer displayed dynamic arrangements ('In The Air Tonight'), melancholy piano ('You Know What I Mean') and Philadelphia soul ('I Missed Again'), and wrapped up with a cover of 'Tomorrow Never Knows' at which even John Lennon would have tipped his hat. After this album Collins embarked on an extraordinarily busy career that included a rejuvenated Genesis, film roles and huge solo success. This will always be the album closest to his heart, with the paint pot on the piano.
