Phil Collins will release a box set featuring collaborations with his famous friends and he has a lot of them.
‘Phil Collins Plays Well With Others’ features tracks from Abba’s Frida, Paul McCartney, Joe Cocker, Robert Plant, Eric Clapton, The Bee Gees, Adam Ant, George Harrison and a long list more.
Collins has written for others, produced for other, been a studio musician for others, backing muso live for others and backing singer for others from time to time as well. Since 1969 he has worked with a lot of others.
Genesis producer John Anthony was the first to notice Phil’s allround talents. “He was producing all kinds of records, and he would use me because he loves good drumming,” remembers Collins. “We used to go into Trident Studios at midnight, just for the fun of playing, and go home at six or seven in the morning. I enjoyed the possibility of just playing and occasionally being paid for it, and occasionally not. It wasn’t for money, it was just for the hell of playing.”
Phil Collins ‘Plays Well With Others’ will be released on 28 September 2018.
