2. I don’t have a problem with digital-only releases, as they’re not all that bad, especially these two forthcoming PC compilations.

To make this nightmare of a reissue campaign complete we now get contentwise what fans always wanted but format-wise what they hate!

And I am 33. In retrospect, I have no real issue here, as a longtime fan I have most of this on CD already and the rest on vinyl. A forever physical music fan.

It’s an extremely narrow part of the market. I’ll hold on to my old 12”ers CD. As far as performance is concerned this has more heart and soul than anything I have done before. The point is, few people are set up for high quality streaming around their house.

Many artists and releases I am completely happy to settle for a digital only release. “Who Said I Would” (Extended Remix) And then I simply stop supporting the artist, don’t go to shows etc. You probably looked at the sales figures for the “Take A Look At Me Now” reissue campaign and decided they were so dismal, that you are not going to do a physical release of the B-sides, demos and remixes. If the previous deluxe editions didn’t get good sales is because they did the wrong choices to put on every album. Regardless, I paid around £10 for these 18 songs and they are now gone.

The amount of comments left on this page prove there is absolutely a market for physical discs. to the current day Phil replacing the original Phil on the album covers. Had they released it on CD, I would have purchased it on Day 1 and still listened to it on Apple Music. Other Sides : Kids with their iPhones and their Apple Music ain’t gonna be listening to the remix compilation on their way to school! It happens that Homeless (“Another Day In Paradise” Demo), which is already available for sale on Qobuz and the other digital stores, is actually the regular album version. Warner/ Rhino, if you want my money, release these on CD and I will happily pay for them! Just to add a bit of balance, the collection of studio albums (8 I believe) was released as a box set that I saw going for around 8 quid a few months back…the biggest bargain I recall seeing in recent releases. Knowing (from past interviews) PC is not exactly fond of theses leftover b-sides and remixes, that is probably our answer as to why there is no physical release here. Very much regret NOT being inclined to buy any of this.

Nevermind. Other Sides. Yes, the inlays were basic to say the least but you were getting product on cd – if there were 50 orders, they made 50…if there were 5,000 they made 5,000. I fifth the previous comments… this is a sad day indeed.. considering alot of these songs were never on CD before anyways (cassette singles, 45 records), now that they have the actual chance, it seems that they still wont make their CD debut! I’d buy the remix set if it was on CD. 16. I have little interest in it. Remixed Sides is a mess, level wise one extreme to another, that is DR16 right down to DR6, multiple sources for the tracks released on this Anthology. And I did criticise the ridiculous pricing of The Mercury Demos. What are your thoughts on this decision?

As a result Melle Mel won’t come to stay any more. This is the only way to end this program properly. Absolutely pathetic!! “The Other Sides” is interesting except I have just about everything except maybe some or all of the demos. I can always rip the mp3’s to CD. Both albums will be availale in digital format only. I generally don’t buy digital only releases. However download-only is barely more than nothing, and for my purposes IS nothing. Thank God Japan has a hard – on for physical cd type media. Other Sides features 18 songs issued as B-sides between 1981 and 2003 and includes many demos (most of which weren’t included on the two-CD deluxe editions issued back in 2016). So many comments, amazing, Phil needs to wake up and listen to the customers who have helped make you who you are today, and continue to try and support you.

From there, the completist in me would have gone back and bought the other reissues. I would have snapped their hand off for a 4 LP remixes set. Could not agree more! I’m NOT bring that into my home, and, I got NO remixes, and NO “We Said Hello Goodbye”, one of Phil’s ULTIMATE best songs!

Phil Collins fans deserve at lease that much. )[1] The video ends with shots of New York and the people, cutting like the first section, again with Collins singing the closing lyrics. This might just save the cd for a little while longer. Most Phil fans come from the 80s decade and we are all familiar with physical formats instead of downloading or streaming music.

I’ve never bought a download, but I buy hundreds of CDs every year! About the influence of his emotions on his songs he adds: "I have reached this point. Es una burla para los fans, que en su mayoría -me incluyo- tenemos un amor especial por las ediciones fisicas. There's a problem loading this menu right now.

Missing b-sides / remixes: Both Sides was a hit in other European countries such as the UK (where it was the 8th biggest-selling album of 1993, despite only being available for the final eight weeks of the year), Germany or Switzerland, reaching No. Best way to alienate your fan base. On the cover art – I thought that was a great idea. Albums of discarded demos, with the notable exception of the likes of the Basement Tapes, not so much. “Don’t Lose My Number” (Extended Remix)

II now available to pre-order, John Lennon / Gimme Some Truth CD and vinyl sets unboxed, John Lennon / Gimme Some Truth deluxe edition reviewed. This whole reissue series has been botched from day one. I appreciate physical media, but thousands of CDs are taking up so much space that now I’m thankful for anything that’s digitally available (as soon as it’s at least CD quality). The last rerelease still excluded tracks that were only on the DVD release. Poor Paul!

Listen to this album and more than 60 million songs with your unlimited streaming plans. “Hang In Long Enough” (Pettibone 12″ Mix) Speaking of Hi-Res flac files… this is another area where this Phil Collins campaign dropped the ball. Here’s the thing about digital downloads. These songs should have been added to the recent deluxe album remasters, and now it wouldn’t fit inside the “box”, but I’d gladly buy it as a Deluxe Combo 2 disc package to stand along-side it! I’m not really interested in the remixes even if I prefer “Only You Know And I Know” in this form but I don’t have all the tracks on “Other Sides”…, There are, on the first CD, 8 demos, 5 instrumental tracks and 5 songs, some of them are really good (“For a Friend” is a pure gem, “I Like The Way” and “The Man With The Horn” from respectively “No Jacket Required” and “Hello, I Must Be Going!” sessions have their qualities), I will certianly buy them through Qobuz if I don’t have the choice of CDs but I’m so sad about these facts…. That never came back and it still hurts :), This needs a release on cd a nice card gatefold please, I want a CD release. Am i happy?

I understand the cost issues of reissuing everything on every format, but it would seem digital releases are arguably the easiest and cheapest way to go. The posts here overwhelmingly support the idea that, given choice, consumers will happily part with their money. 12. Arguably I may be missing out on something but I know what I like (sorry). A major part of the attraction and joy to a fan/collector is to be able to hold the physical product – digital releases are an ethereal thing that doesn’t really exist in a collection.
