Phil Collins’ fifth solo album, Both Sides, is receiving a comprehensive box set for its 30th anniversary, releasing on September 20th via Rhino Records.
The centerpiece of the 5xLP collection — fittingly titled Both Sides (All the Sides) — is a remastered edition of the original album cut at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. Also featuring early demo tracks and rarities, the box set comes with newly written liner notes by journalist Michael Hann.
Among the rarities included on Both Sides (All the Sides) are live recordings of “Can’t Turn Back the Years,” “Doesn’t Anybody Stay Together Anymore,” and “Both Sides of the Story,” the latter of which is taken from Collins’ 1994 MTV Unplugged performance.
Pre-orders for Both Sides (All the Sides) are ongoing. See the full tracklist below.
Collins hasn’t released a new studio album since 2010’s Going Back, but he reunited with Genesis for a North American reunion tour in 2021. See our recap of their show in Madison Square Garden.
Later this year, Collins will release a limited edition 10-inch vinyl for RSD Black Friday on November 29th titled Live from the Board: Official Bootleg. It features songs he recorded on the Both Sides tour under the moniker Phil Collins & The Indescribable Din.
