Phil Collins : Face Value


SO YOU CAN

WIPE OFF THAT GRIN

I KNOW WHERE 

YOU'VE BEEN


 Face Value

 is the

 debut 

solo studio album

 by the 

English drummer 

and

 singer-songwriter

 Phil Collins

 released on

 February 13th 1981, 

by Virgin Records

 in the

 United Kingdom 

and 

Atlantic Records

 in North America. 

After separating

 from his first wife

 around 1979, 

Collins began to 

write songs 

during a break

 in activity

 from Genesis 

with much of the

 material concerning

 his personal life.

 The album was recorded

 from mid-1980

 to early 1981 

with Collins 

and 

Hugh Padgham 

as producers. 

Additional musicians

 include

 the Phenix Horns, 

Alphonso Johnson

and

 Eric Clapton.
