Both Sides

Brand new sealed 2015 remastered 180 gram audiophile vinyl, housed in a gatefold cover. Made in the EU.

Both Sides is the fifth solo studio album by English singer-songwriter Phil Collins. Featuring an adult-oriented soft rock based sound, the release came out in November 1993. Collins notably created the album entirely by himself without any collaborations from outside songwriters and performers, and he picked up mixed to positive critical reviews with the release, with Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic stating that the album's "artistically satisfying" songs feature "troubled, haunting tales".^[3]

A special two-disc edition of the album featuring the Live from the Board – Official Bootleg EP^[5] as a second disc,^[6] titled Far Side... of the World: Gold Souvenir Tour Edition after the final leg of the Both Sides tour, was released in Southeast Asia and Australia in 1995. It peaked at No. 13 in Australia.^[7]

The album achieved commercial success, reaching number one in the U.K., number eight in Australia, and number thirteen in the U.S. Collins also went on the highly successful Both Sides of the World Tour upon its release. That effort involved over a hundred performances in a tour that went over a year,^[8] and it showed that he remained a big performer live despite the shifts in the Anglo-American musical landscape taking place.

A newly remastered, two-disc deluxe edition of the album was released on 29 January 2016, as part of the 'Take a Look at Me Now' series of Phil Collins studio album reissues.^[9]
