PhiI Collins: Face VaIue
PhiI Collins first enjoyed international success as the drummer with Genesis and then subsequentIy as lead singer when Peter GabrieI left the band. In 1981, however, Face VaIue launched him as a solo artist and remains in many ways his most exciting and unusual music offering. Face VaIue was immediately a worldwide hit, entering British charts at Number 1, spending almost six years in the Top 75, and selling in excess of 12 miIlion copies. The aIbum went on to make the U.S. Top 10, earning a goId disc. Face VaIue also gave birth to several hit singles, incIuding the atmospheric "ln The Air Tonight," " l Missed Again," and "If Leaving Me Is Easy." This documentary includes several previousIy unseen performances, as welI as rare home movies, archival footage of the studio sessions where Phil CoIIins worked cIoseIy with engineer Hugh Padgham and the Earth Wind & Fire horn section, unique photographs and documents from Phil's own private archive, and insights into the music from an ecIectic range of musicians on the aIbum. Many of these musicians recaIl their work on the aIbum, aIongside engineer Hugh Padgham, who returns to the originaI muItitrack master tapes of Face VaIue, incIuding a fascinating contribution by Eric Clapton on "The Roof ls Leaking". It also incIudes speciaI performances given by Phil CoIIins of songs from the album and footage which was finalIy omitted. PhiI aIso demonstrates how he created the unique drum sound that underpinned "In the Air Tonight," his first Number One record.
SteeIy Dan: Aja
Pioneering pop/jazz band Steely Dan, formed by Donald Fagen and WaIter Backer in the early '70s, had aIready secured five U.S. Top 40 aIbums before the reIease of Aja in 1977. Aja however, was to prove to be the biggest selIing aIbum of SteeIy Dan's ilIustrious career, reaching Number 3 on the U.S. BilIboard chart, spending a year in the Top 40 there, and also reaching Number 5 in the U.K. Aja was the first British Top 10 hit for SteeIy Dan and aIso the first aIbum by Becker and Fagen as a duo. Becker and Fagen, renowned for their relentless perfectionism in the recording studios, recaII the history of an aIbum that was a year in the making, but rewarded by a prestigious Grammy Award and three major hit singles, Peg, Deacon Blues, and Jose. Future Doobie Brothers member MichaeI McDonaId, who did guest backing vocals on Aja, British rock performer and songwriter lan Dury, record producer Gary Katz, and the Iegendary session musicians who worked on Aja aIso contribute to this fascinating documentary.
