There are many Phil hits on this album. Not the best, but the songs are OK.
clickspin Mar 15, 2023
This pressing has great dynamics, quiet vinyl, and is cleanly manufactured on a fresh stamper. The Virgin version https://www.discogs.com/release/7922759-Phil-Collins-But-Seriously has similar dynamics but much noisier vinyl.

Great press, clear and loud, really enjoy it. Playing this using an ortofon Concorde Twin Pack, blue and orange. Greeting from Lima, Peru

What can I say? This sounds amazing. Picked up a copy of this in NM condition for an amazing price, I'm so lucky.

This release sounds really really good given how long the entire record is. I am impressed. [ Playing this using an Ortofon 2M Black cartridge ]

I do like Phil’s contemplative look on the front cover of this album. It is almost as if he is thinking of something very serious, such as the worsening climate crisis faced by humanity. Although when this album was made, that wasn’t a thing. So perhaps he is thinking about something else. Maybe he is thinking “did I remember to lock the front door when I left the house this morning?” Sometimes I think about that when I am out at the shops, and I have to go home to check!!
