Review: To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Phil Collins' fifth solo studio album, Both Sides, a special edition 5XLP box set is set for release. This deluxe reissue, features the remastered original album, cut at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. Both Sides (All The Sides) includes early demo tracks, rarities from singles like 'Both Sides of the Story,' 'Everyday,' and 'We Wait and We Wonder,' as well as live performances such as 'Can't Turn Back the Years' and 'Both Sides of the Story' from Collins' MTV Unplugged session. This collection is presented on vinyl for the first time, housed in a slipcase with picture sleeves and a 16-page booklet containing newly written liner notes by esteemed journalist Michael Hann. Collins, who wrote, performed, and produced Both Sides in just six weeks at his home studio, considers it his most personal album. Originally released in 1993, the album topped the charts in the UK and Europe, reached No. 13 in the US, and achieved multi-platinum status worldwide.
