Summary: The first is still the best!
Review: This documentary is a very insightful look at Phil Collins' first solo album. It is a rare look into the events surrounding the writing and recording of this "classic album." It includes candid interviews from the musicians who played on the album and Phil's own comments and memories of the session. No, it is not a collection of music videos, but if you are interested in the real story behind Phil's greatest work, it is a must!

Summary: A Classic Album
Review: This DVD is another in the Classic Album Collection Series 2. Made in 1999 and including interviews with band members who helped make the album into the hit is was. Phil Collins is my hero , but dont be fooled this is a quality doco.Covering most of the songs from the album and one that ended up as a Genesis track written originally for Face Value.This version includes a great version of If Leaving Me is Easy which was cut from a live concert in Dallas 1995. Phil spends some time explaining how tracks got made , how musicians were chosen to play and has some rare home video footage. The closing sequence is the drum part to In the Air live in Paris 1997. A classic album and a must have for any Phil Collins fan.

Summary: Exactly what a true fan expects!
Review: This is a must for all true fans! I have watched it 7 times in a row and can't get enough of it. It's almost like being part of making the album. If you ever wondered what the origional title of "I Missed Again" was, you will get a chance to hear a bit of the origional demo tapes. If you want to hear "Hand in Hand" being played backwards on a track of "Tommorow Never Knows" this is it! There is so much detail! Hugh Padgham, the Engineer, sits with Phil and plays back individual tracks from the original tapes...and they explain how it was done. Includes guitar by Eric Clapton and strings by Ravi Shankar! It even has a previously unrelaesed full length music video of "If Leaving Me is Easy" as well as a clip of Phil at the piano doing "Plaese Don't Ask"...so emotional he almost cries! If you want the standard music videos watch VH1. If you want to really know how one of the greatest albums of the 20th Century was put together, GET THIS DVD!
