Published on 09/02/2026 at 14:21 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS

Face Value returns
The new edition adds half-speed remastering, rare and unreleased live recordings, demos, outtakes and a new interview with Phil Collins. The same official page says the project also includes new 2026 Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and stereo mixes by Steven Wilson.
That makes the reissue more than a simple repackaging. It extends the reach of the 1981 debut while tying it to a 2026 campaign that is clearly built around archival depth and updated mastering.
The UK chart picture
Phil Collins also has a live German-market chart anchor this week. On the Official Charts compilers list dated August 28, 2026, Phil Collins Plays Well With Others sits at No. 13, with 357 weeks on the UK compilations chart and a peak of No. 10. Official Charts compilations report
That long run is the current evidence that Collins' catalog still moves in Britain, even without a new studio album. It also gives the 2026 anniversary edition a visible market context beyond nostalgia.

The album behind the story
Face Value remains the key work behind this week’s release story. The debut first arrived in 1981, and the 2026 box set builds on that era with vault material rather than a rewritten album cycle.
That matters because Collins' solo identity still rests on the balance between big pop hooks and carefully produced studio craft. The new set keeps that formula visible while refreshing the sound for collectors and younger listeners.

Phil Collins currently has no announced live date at present.
