Classic Albums - Phil Collins: Face Value description
After achieving stardom by taking over the lead vocals of Genesis from Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins released his first solo album, Face Value, in 1980. This installment of the Classic Albums series explores the making of this album in a one-hour documentary film, with Collins himself providing the bulk of the insightful commentary. From his home studio, he discusses how the lyrics to "In the Air Tonight" wrote themselves after his painful divorce and why a drummer would ever use a drum machine. Also interviewed are engineer Hugh Padgham, producer Ahmet Ertegun, Genesis colleagues Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, and many of the studio musicians. Songs such as "Behind the Lines," "I Missed Again," "The Roof Is Leaking," "This Must Be Love," and of course "In the Air Tonight" are excerpted in both home and concert footage (some of it previously unreleased), and Collins accompanies himself at the piano in a wrenching "Please Don't Ask," which was cut from the album. In the two decades between the original album's appearance and this 1999 video production, Phil Collins has gone on to become an international solo star, but many still consider Face Value his finest album. This excellent documentary shows you why. --David Horiuchi

♥♥♥♥ Serious Shadow
These days, the music industry really looks at the 1980's, and to see how wel so many great act have been influenced by Michael Jackson and Madonna. But for those acts then, some of them were just trying to fall upon their footing. Phil Collins was definitely one of those acts. Since his career on his own, and with Genesis Phil Collins has continued to thrive with his guilty pleasure fields of pop. But when his solo debut Face Value his the music industry, Phil really showed his footing as a giant and a real go-getter out of his shadow. This story really reflects on how deep the album turned out to be.

Classic Albums: Phil Collins Face Value, is a detailed and driven documentary that reflects on Phil's beginnings to what would be a legendary solo career. The stories behind Phil's crossroads within his ending first marriage, and how he transformed into his own, and aay fro beng a stepping stone from his era with Genesis as a lead singer. The movements are shown well here from each story behind songs like I Missed Again, the haunting In The Air Tonight, Phil's breakthrough smash, which was recently covered for the movie Miami Vice, and other great songs like This Must Be Love and Droned. There are also gripping interviews from Hugh Pagham, and from Phil himself on a landmark album that he made well.

All in all, I just absolutely wish that there could've been other records of Phil's that were highlighted like No Jacket Required and But Seriously. Nevertheless, it is just the absolutely great documentary, and a great buy for die hard Phil Collins fans. I loved watching this documentary on VH1 classic recently, and it is a really great buy.
