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!

I've come up with a general assumption that's been helpful: 60s/70s records, get the remasters 80s/90s records, get the original CD

My first choice is to find the original CD or LP pressed in Germany. Regarding Japanese remasters, I think there is a deal made for licensing and distribution.

The only thing that guy wants is the best of the best. Wether its original or re-master its the best! Same with Simple minds live in the city of lights. It sounds phenomenal on KT88 powered tube amps.
