Phil Collins revisits a career that can boast over 100 million sales and numerous worldwide #1 albums with the new Take A Look At Me Now retrospective reissue campaign in which all eight of his albums will be issued as remastered deluxe editions. The campaign commences with the November 2015 release of his 1981 debut album Face Value and 1993's Both Sides plus the Take A Look At Me Now: Collector's Edition which compiles remastered editions of both albums in one box set.

 

Each album in the series will be remastered by Nick Davis, who earned a Grammy nomination for Best Surround Sound Album for his work on the Genesis 1970-1975 boxed set. Davis has also worked on all of the Genesis retrospective reissues. The remaining six albums of Collins' solo discography will follow in the coming months. They also feature a bold new artwork concept in which Collins has recreated his poses from the original album covers with new photography that was shot in the present day.
