Description

A deeply personal debut, Face Value channels heartbreak into sonic innovation. Written in the wake of Collins’ divorce, the album blends Roland drum machines, horn arrangements by The Phenix Horns, and experimental textures with raw emotional clarity. In the Air Tonight remains its haunting centrepiece - an anthem of catharsis and studio wizardry.

This 2016 remastered edition is pressed on 180g audiophile vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve with original artwork and credits. Remastered from the original tapes, it preserves the dynamic range and studio detail that made the album a landmark of early '80s production.
