In 1981, the album Face Value transformed Phil Collins from Genesis drummer into a global solo artist. The album is a deeply personal work, written in the wake of his divorce from his first wife. Instead of taking the pure pop route, Collins channeled his emotions into an album that unites soul, art-pop, and R&B in a cohesive and emotional expression.

Face Value is especially known for its groundbreaking production – not least the iconic "gated reverb" drum sound, which came to define the sound of the 1980s. It is heard most clearly on the classic "In the Air Tonight" with arguably rock history's most famous drum break.

The album also demonstrates Collins' musical versatility. With assistance from the Phenix Horns (known from Earth, Wind & Fire), tracks like "I Missed Again" are imbued with a distinct funk energy, while the subdued, folk-infused "The Roof Is Leaking" stands in stark contrast to his experimental interpretation of The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows". Face Value was not only the beginning of an outstanding solo career but also proof that a deeply personal album could be both artistically ambitious and an enormous commercial success.

Face Value is now being released as an exclusive deluxe vinyl box set with lots of bonus content, including:

• A brand new interview where Phil Collins talks about the album

• Rare, stripped-down versions of "In the Air Tonight" and "The Roof Is Leaking" from The Other Secret Policeman's Ball, performed by Phil Collins and guitarist Daryl Stuermer

• Two previously unreleased live recordings from Perkins Palace (1982) and Irvine Meadows (1985)

• A previously unreleased outtake of Phil Collins' experimental version of The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows"

• The previously unreleased complete version of "Over the Rainbow," where only a short excerpt appears on the original album
