Album Notes
Personnel includes: Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, Stephen Bishop, Shankar, Daryl Steurmer, Earth Wind & Fire Horns.
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.

      This Must Be Love

    This cd is great. It has super songs--some rock some love songs. The meanful words and the instruments have passion. He actually sounds like he's singing to a lover or as in In The Air--an enemy. It is a good old cd to enjoy every beat of every song the whole way through it.

    My girlfriend likes Phil Collins. I couldn't find what I wanted in a store so I tried Ebay. Found 2 CD's that she would like and bought them. They arrived in a short time, and I'm completely satisfied. I'm retired and at my age many of the movies and music that I like are not available in stores. But I'm able to find them on Ebay.

    Collins fans start here ! After Genesis, he brought his beat to a new level of easy listening and many classics. Great collection of hits with beat and vocals.

    Quintessential 1981 release from Atlantic Recording.

    Tracks:
    1) In The Air Tonight
    2) This Must Be Love
    3) Behind The Lines
    4) The Roof Is Leaking
    5) Droned
    6) Hand In Hand
    7) I Missed Again
    8) You Know What I Mean
    9) Thunder And Lightning
    10) I'm Not Moving
    11) If Leaving Me Is Easy
    12) Tomorrow Never Knows

    From the Back Cover:
    "Face Value, Phil Collins solo debut, generated two American Top 20 singles in 1981 - "I Missed Again" and the atmospheric "In The Air Tonight". On his own apart from Genesis, the artist has revealed a solid set of rhythm and blues roots to match his longtime willingness to experiment with styles and sounds uptempo. Motown-inspired numbers contrast with a version of the Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" and the sensuous ballad "If Leaving Me Is Easy".

    I never knew Phil Collins could "blow" like he does; I generally do not like other music if it is not R&B but when my friend put this tape in it blew me away and it's...Let's see how can I say this: This CD has my undivided attention plus the seller did not trick me; it was everything he described and the condition was more than "like new"
