Phil Collins

No stranger to the music of Motown, Phil Collins released Going Back in 2010 - an album packed with faithful covers of The Four Tops, The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations and many more. With the assistance of both original members of Motown backing band The Funk Brothers and some crucial in-studio trickery (following a surgery on Collins' vertebrae, he was able to drum by taping his sticks to his hands), Going Back became an expansive love letter to The Sound of Young America.  In fact, even Collins may have found Going Back too expansive in retrospect. First released as an 18-track standard album and 25-track deluxe package, The Essential Going Back now pares it back to a tight 14 tracks and couples it with a live bonus disc recorded on his brief summer tour, which made stops at Philadelphia's Electric Factory, New York's Roseland Ballroom, a televised concert in London and the Montreux Jazz Festival of 2010.    The newly-abridged 14-track album will also be available on vinyl.
