Phil Collins / No Jacket Required 40th anniversary reissue

Phil Collins’ 1985 album No Jacket Required is being reissued as a 4LP vinyl box set and on blu-ray audio with a new Dolby Atmos Mix by Steven Wilson.

Collins’ third solo album features the hit singles ‘Sussudio’, ‘One More Night’, ‘Don’t Lose My Number’ and ‘Take Me Home’. Produced by Collins and Hugh Padgham, the album reached number one in many countries around the world including the United Kingdom and the United States. 

The 4LP vinyl edition includes all 13 bonus tracks from the 2016 ‘Take A Look at Me Now’ 2CD deluxe of the album and adds nine more, including a couple of tracks from Live Aid and Collins performing ‘One More Night’ on BBC TV’s Wogan chat show, from 1985.

Frustratingly, although it’s not particularly a surprise, none of the extended remixes of the singles are included (for the second time of asking) but bizarrely the ‘Medley Mega Mix’ of ‘Sussudio’/’Don’t Lost My Number’/’You Can’t Hurry Love’ (from a limited edition double A-side 12-inch of ‘Take Me Home’) does get the nod and features on the 4LP vinyl box set! Go, as they say, figure…

Possibly more interesting for SDE readers is the fact that for its 40th anniversary No Jacket Required is being issued on blu-ray audio with an immersive Dolby Atmos Mix created by Steven Wilson. Wilson has also created a dedicated 5.1 mix and a new stereo mix. Additionally the album includes a hi-res stereo version of the original 1985 mix. This is the 10-track version of the album. CD bonus track ‘We Said Hello Goodbye’ has not been remixed for immersive audio.

Audio streams on the No Jacket Required blu-ray

• No Jacket Required – Steven Wilson Dolby Atmos Mix (48/24)
• No Jacket Required – Steven Wilson dedicated 5.1 Mix (48/24)
• No Jacket Required – Steven Wilson Stereo Mix (48/24)
• No Jacket Required – Original 1985 Stereo Mix (48/24)

The Atmos Mix has been approved by original co-producer Hugh Padgham.

These are the only two physical editions of the reissue. There’s no CD version. The artwork for both reverts to the original cover, abandoning the updated ‘Take a Look at Me Now’ visuals from 2016, although the vinyl has ‘(Fully Tailored)’ appended to the title.

This No Jacket Required blu-ray will be released on 12 September 2025, via Warner Music. Order the blu-ray from the SDE shop using this link or the button below. 4LP links coming soon (it’s over £100).
