Phil Collins Remasters


Hi guys,

Any opinions of "Face Value" and "No Jacket Required" remastered cds vs the original 80s cds?

Worth buying again?

Thanks!

My experience with remasters has been nothing but positive with regards to CDs only. In general, the latest releases I own always beat the originals on SQ. Better dynamics (less compression), better timbres, better clarity, air, bloom, tone, blacker backgrounds, even better PRaT. So, FWIW, my advice is to always purchase remasters, the latest date the better, especially if available in HDCD, SACD or Blueray. YMMV...

And room treatment. The room is at least 50% of what you're going to hear. If the acoustics aren't good...

I heard through the grapevine Phil Collins is back in the stu-stu-studio.

That has rarely been my experience - most remasters are horribly compressed. Often the original is better if it was released in the 80’s.


lol, thanks @tomcarr, who will be the first to bring up better cables and tubes?

anybody own the actual discs i'm asking about?
