Phil Collins / Both Sides (All The Sides) 5LP box set

Phil Collins’ 1993 album Both Sides will be reissued as Both Sides (All The Sides) a new 5LP deluxe vinyl edition in September.

This expanded set is the features the original artwork (not the ‘Take A Look at Me Now’ 2016 updated version) and a remastered version of the album, cut at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road.

The other three vinyl records feature early demos, rarities from singles and live recordings from the era, including from Collins’ MTV Unplugged performance.

There are 20 bonus tracks in total. All 10 from CD 2 of the 2016 deluxe edition are included, plus these:

• Both Sides of the Demo (Early Demo) [from ‘Both Sides of the Story’ CD single]
• Everyday (Early Demo) [from ‘Everyday’ CD single]
• Don’t Call Me Ashley [from ‘Everyday’ CD single]
• Rad Dudeski [from ‘Both Sides of the Story’ CD single]
• For a Friend [from ‘We Wait and Wonder’ CD single)
• Hang in Long Enough (Live)
• Hand in Hand (Live)
• Doesn’t Anybody Stay Together Anymore (Live) [from ‘Everyday’ CD single]
• Always (Live) [‘from Both Sides of the Story’ CD single]
• Stevies Blues (There’s a Place for Us Instrumental) [from ‘We Wait and Wonder’ CD single)

Some of these are new to vinyl, but nothing appears unreleased, and as you can see by the above list they are mostly pulled from CD singles at the time. Why these are okay for a vinyl reissue but not the CD reissue back in 2016 is a fair question and fans should be aware that there’s no CD edition this time around. The vinyl records are housed in a slipcase and come with a 16-page booklet with sleeve notes by Michael Hann. 

Additionally, Live From the Board: Official Bootleg gets a standalone 10-inch release for this year’s Black Friday Record Store Day. This four-track EP was originally a bonus CD included as part of the 1995 Gold Souvenir Tour Edition of the album. It features the tracks ‘Sussudio’, ‘Easy Lover’, ‘Separate Lives’ and ‘My Girl’.

Both Sides (All The Sides) will be released on 20 September 2024. It’s the first Collins’ reissue since he sold his rights to his solo material to Concord in September 2022.
