No Jacket Required (Deluxe Edition) (2CD)

Released in 1985, Collins’ third album ‘No Jacket Required’ topped the charts in the UK, US and numerous other countries all over the world on a journey that would result in three Grammy Awards (for Best Album, Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male and Producer of the Year for Collins and co-producer Hugh Padgham) and over 20 million sales. Mixing Collins’ trademark emotional ballads alongside strong funk and R&B influences, the album’s hit singles – ‘Sussudio’, ‘One More Night’, ‘Don’t Lose My Number’ and ‘Take Me Home’ – would also become staples of his live set in the years that followed.

Entirely curated and compiled by Collins himself, his idea for the deluxe edition is to examine how his songs have evolved over time, with most of the additional content throughout focused on live versions of the tracks. By contrasting the original studio versions of the material with later performances, the series demonstrates how Collins’ songs take on a life of their own once they’re freed from the confines of the studio.

Featuring the 2016 remastered album, with 13 bonus tracks as well as the recreated version of the sleeve.
