EnglishWhat Phil Collins Reissues or New Releases Are Available for Pre-Order?
Updated
As of the official site's current listings, two Face Value editions are available for pre-order, both dated September 18: a 4LP Deluxe Vinyl Boxset ("Face Value (Full Value)") and a 1BR Blu-Ray Audio disc. The boxset pairs a half-speed remaster of the original album (cut at Abbey Road) with rare and unreleased live recordings, demos, and outtakes, plus liner notes built around a new interview with Phil Collins. The Blu-Ray Audio carries new 2026 Dolby Atmos, 5.1, and stereo mixes by Steven Wilson alongside a remaster of the original album mix. Pre-orders are placed through the official site.

Which one fits your setup
The choice comes down to playback equipment and what you want to hear, not to a quality ranking:
- Choose the 4LP boxset if you play vinyl and want the archival material — the live tracks, demos, and outtakes are exclusive to this configuration in the current listings, and the half-speed Abbey Road remaster is the draw for the original album itself.
- Choose the Blu-Ray Audio if you have a Blu-Ray player or a disc player feeding a surround or Atmos-capable system. The Steven Wilson 2026 Atmos, 5.1, and stereo mixes are the reason to buy this version; the original album remaster is included as well.
- Buying both is a legitimate option if you want the surround mixes and the demo/live archive — the two products do not overlap on the bonus audio described above.
How to pre-order
- Go to philcollins.com and find the Face Value pre-order listings (the site currently surfaces both items with "Pre-Order Now" alongside the September 18 date).
- Select the format you want — 4LP boxset or Blu-Ray Audio.
- Complete checkout through the store linked from the official site.
The site's own listing is the place to confirm current price, shipping regions, and any edition limits, since those details are not stated in the product descriptions themselves.
What is not confirmed
The listings do not state pricing, whether either edition is limited or numbered, or which retailers besides the official store will carry them. Treat any figure you see elsewhere as unverified until it appears on the official product page.
Why these releases matter in context
Face Value is Collins' debut solo album and the source of "In the Air Tonight," the song the site calls "one of the late 20th century's most enduring songs" with "one of music's most recognizable drum breakdowns." For a catalog artist with an estimated 150 million albums sold worldwide, a deluxe archival edition of the debut is a natural anchor release — and the Steven Wilson surround remix places it in the same lineage as other high-profile immersive reissues of classic pop records.
