Phil Collins’ Diamond-certified third solo album will be reissued in September
To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of No Jacket Required, Phil Collins’ third solo album will be reissued in two new formats this September.
Available as a 4LP vinyl boxset with additional live and rare material and a 1BD Blu-ray Audio disc, featuring a new Dolby ATMOS mix of the original album by Steven Wilson, will be released on 5 September.
No Jacket Required, released in 1985, mixed his trademark emotional ballads alongside strong funk and R&B influences. The album’s hit singles – Sussudio, One More Night, Don’t Lose My Number and Take Me Home – would also become staples of his live shows in the years that followed.
No Jacket Required was a resounding global hit, reaching No.1 in 11 countries, including the UK, US, Australia, Canada, Germany, Spain, and Sweden.
The album received three Grammy Awards: Best Album, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, and Producer of the Year for Collins. It has sold over 25 million copies to date, is RIAA-certified Diamond in the US, has reached 6x platinum in the UK, and won two Brit Awards — Album of the Year and Best Male Solo Artist. It was the second-best-selling album of 1985 in the UK and spent five consecutive weeks at No.1.
Fully Tailored
The 4-LP deluxe collection, No Jacket Required (Fully Tailored), is pressed on 180g black vinyl and features a 20-page booklet complete with new liner notes and photos. LP 1 features the original album remastered and cut at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios. LPs 2-4 include a collection of B-sides, live, and rare performances for the first time on vinyl, including a stripped-back performance of One More Night Live at the BBC, and Long, Long Way To Go from Live Aid on July 13, 1985.
The No Jacket Required Blu-ray Audio disc contains a brand-new Dolby ATMOS, 5.1 surround sound mix and stereo mix by Steven Wilson, alongside the original 1985 stereo mix. The 1-BD Blu-ray Audio will be available the same day as the LP boxset.
