Phil Collins Announces 45th‑Anniversary Face Value Box Set

A package of remastered audio, unreleased live recordings and new immersive mixes reframes Collins's solo legacy before a reported Rock & Roll Hall of Fame solo induction in November 2026.

Overview

  • Rhino and Phil Collins announced Face Value (Full Value) on July 15, 2026, with preorders open and a four‑LP box set and separate Blu‑ray due Sept. 18, 2026.
  • A previously unreleased live recording of “You Know What I Mean” from Perkins Palace, Pasadena, 1982, was issued as a preview on digital platforms.
  • The vinyl set pairs a half‑speed Abbey Road remaster of the original album by Miles Showell with three LPs of demos, outtakes and unreleased live performances including shows from Perkins Palace (1982) and Irvine Meadows (1985).
  • A Blu‑ray Audio edition features new 2026 Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and stereo mixes by Steven Wilson plus the 2016 remaster, and the box includes new liner notes with a fresh interview with Collins.
  • Face Value originally made Collins a solo star in 1981 by topping U.K. charts and reaching the U.S. Top 10, and the expanded release is aimed at collectors and listeners who want archival-quality restorations and rare live material.
