Face Value

Face Value is the title of the debut solo album by British recording artist Phil Collins. The release of the album came shortly after the release of the track In The Air Tonight, which features as the album's opening track. As well as spawning two more hit singles, Face Value features a new version of the Genesis song Behind the Lines from the group's 1980 album Duke and a cover version of The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows. The song ends with Collins singing a verse of Over the Rainbow, all in reference to the recent murder of John Lennon.

At the time Collins was still a a member of Genesis although had been working on solo projects since the release of the group's 1978 album And The There Were Three... He had been going through a divorce from his wife, a traumatic and emotional time for Collins which is reflected in many of his compositions both for Duke and Face Value.

The album reached no.1 in the UK album charts shortly after its release and was the beginning of a long and successful solo career for Collins, in parallel with his work with Genesis.
