    Great sounding record, but then everything Phil does is great.

      This press sounds sensational! You can probably get it at a great price!

        I have a copy but ignored it for years, until today (12 Nov 2023) because I only found out last week that Phil did a cover of my fave Beatles track Tomorrow Never Knows. No, it did not change what I think about PC. The LP has gone back on the shelf, this time however next to my vintage Genesis and Steve Hackett LPs, and it isn't likely to come out again. I used to store it away from Genesis related stuff coz I felt PC did not deserve to occupy that hallowed space. My copy has PC singing very softly, what I think is Over the Rainbow, at the end of side 2.

          Gorgeous sounding. An absolute winner. I've owned different pressings. This one tops them.

            Found mine in a dollar bin at a local flea market. Awesome sounding press of one of my favorite albums with a very well balanced mix. Phil Collins is a creative genius, and I think this album in particular truly showcases his talent at its height.
