The Singles
Standard Edition (Domestic)

Description
Hailed as a pop genius, Phil Collins has been a prolific hit-maker as member of Genesis, a #1 solo artist, session music and producer, en route to becoming one of the UK’s best loved artists. One of only a three artists to sell over 100 million albums as a member of a group and a further 100 million records as a solo artist, Collins has also earned eight Grammy Awards, an Oscar and a Golden Globe making him undoubtedly one of the most successful musicians of all time.

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 three UK #1s (‘You Can’t Hurry Love’, ‘Easy Lover’ with Philip Bailey, and ‘A Groovy Kind of Love’) plus a further nine Top 10 hits (‘In The Air Tonight’; ‘Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)’; ‘One More Night’; ‘Separate Lives’; ‘Two Hearts’; ‘Another Day In Paradise’; ‘I Wish It Would Rain Down’; ‘Both Sides of the Story’; and ‘Dance Into The Light’).

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 including ‘Sussudio’, ‘Don’t Lose My Number’ and ‘Something Happened On The Way To Heaven’.

‘The Singles’ coincides with the release of Phil Collins’ long-awaited autobiography ‘Not Dead Yet: The Autobiography’. Set to be published by Penguin Random House 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.

The Singles is intended as a companion piece to the recent Phil Collins remaster series:

And his forthcoming autobiography:

Bump: A more extensive 3CD edition of The Singles has been announced for the UK, now detailed in the first post.

I wonder if single edits will be used in this compilation. I doubt it.

JohnG · 03 Aug 2006

The U.K. Version makes more sense having the track In The Air Tonight on CD1 Track 1.

Yeah, the UK version is more or less in chronological order.

U.K. Version also has some great songs the U.S. Version does not, particularly "I Don't Care Anymore".

provided that the full-length versions of "in the air tonight" and "i don't care anymore" are sourced -
provided that these tracks are remastered but NOT remixed like the most recent GENESIS incarnations -
providing all this and a fair price, opting for the 3CD UK edition is a no-brainer.

it'll be nice "philler" material for my collection.

So much for those long lost b-sides. Sheesh, Phil.

sadly, i'm confident that PC won't release those b-sides as remastered bonus material anywhere unless PG does it first.

Just preordered the UK version. The price is/was 17.60 USD versus 17.09 for the US 2 disc set. No brainer.

Ditto.
