The Vinyl Countdown # 12

Phil Collins, In The Air Tonight [Single] (1981) I used to own the reissued 12” single and I regret selling it off. But that’s the nature of record-collecting, of owning, trading and of fading in and out of interest with certain acts. When I bought it Phil Collins was almost entirely thought of as not […]

Clown Day # 2

We missed the first Clown Day. But we heard all about it. We dumped Oscar with his grandparents and had a few days away – went to Melbourne, saw a Patti Smith concert, walked miles each day, drank on rooftop bars, reminded each other that we did things like this only before we had a […]

Phil Collins: Face Value (Deluxe Edition)

Phil Collins Face Value (Deluxe Edition) – Take A Look At Me Now: Reissue Series Rhino Records/Warners I still think Face Value – here reissued, as part of a thoughtful career-overview/overhaul reissue campaign – is a classic album. I’m sure of it. I’ve always liked it. I’ve had a couple of goes at defending/appraising the […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 959

Phil Collins, Face Value (1981) I tried, a wee while ago, to talk about Phil Collins’ Face Value album – it’s my favourite album by Phil Collins, one that I feel deserves a chance even if you have no appreciation of/for Phil Collins and don’t really want to delve…problematic that, I know, but I still […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1446

Phil Collins, In The Air Tonight [Single 12’] (1981/1997) I’ve never had a credit card – still don’t. Probably a good thing now, definitely a good thing then. Back at university I had no idea of responsibility. A friend was ordering books and CDs from Amazon – it was a bit of a thing. And […]
