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!

To answer my own question, no the remaster is not as good as the original CD - it is terribly apparent on "In the Air Tonight" when the drums kick in, it doesn't slam nearly like the original.

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
I am with @lowrider57, the Japanese and German remasters are much better sounding than US remasters. 
IME, everything from Germany sounds best. 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.

Try the Phil Collins "Serious Hits Live" I think that's in Germany. 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.

But Seriously original pressing on vinyl is in my top ten sounding recordings in my collection.
If you have a Columbia Record Club pressing of No Jacket Required replace it with an Original Pressing and be prepared to be blown away. Like night and day,just listen to the horns on Suisido.
