Phil Collins
Phil Collins' fifth album, 1993's Both Sides, is getting the deluxe treatment on vinyl. The 5LP box Both Sides (All the Sides) features the original album, demos, B-sides, and live tracks. The 2016 CD expansion of Both Sides featured a mix of rare B-sides, demos and unreleased live material - an approach that stymied some fans for its lack of comprehensiveness. (All the uncompiled remixes and rarities were later issued on two digital-only collections.) Both Sides (All the Sides) amends this with its track list, offering all the tracks from that reissue and era-specific material from original singles "Both Sides of the Story," "Everyday," and "We Wait and We Wonder." The original album is spread across two LPs, a third offers all the demos and most of the studio B-sides, the fourth includes all the live tracks from the 2016 expansion, and the fifth is a mixed bag of live B-sides, and odds and ends like Collins' rendition of "I've Been Trying" from a Curtis Mayfield tribute album. (Only three live versions of "Hang in Long Enough," "Hand in Hand" and "Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore," released on a U.S. maxi-single, didn't feature on any of those previous reissues.) The slipcase features the album's original cover artwork.
