Description
Marking his monumental debut solo departure from Genesis, Phil Collins created an absolute musical phenomenon with Face Value. Driven by the raw emotional fallout of his first divorce, the album is celebrated by rock historians and audiophiles for its dark, atmospheric themes, pristine analog separation, and brilliant engineering tracked at the Townhouse in London.
The record is anchored by his definitive, iconic signature masterpiece, "In the Air Tonight"—world-renowned for pioneering the gated-reverb "gated drum" studio technique that came to define the sound of 1980s popular music. Packed with additional crossover hit singles like "I Missed Again" and "If Leaving Me Is Easy", the album features stellar instrumental backings from the Phenix Horns (of Earth, Wind & Fire) and a guest appearance by Eric Clapton. Because this copy remains factory sealed, the original custom inner photo sleeve is safely preserved inside.
