Phil Collins will continue his solo reissues series this summer with two more releases.

He’ll launch 1989’s …But Seriously and an amended version of his most recent album, 2013’s Going Back, entitled The Essential Going Back on June 10.

Collins says: “I decided to call this version of Going Back, The Essential Going Back. In retrospect, I included too much music on the original version – and I believe that too much is not always a good thing. Hence this trimmed down selection of my favourite Motown songs.”

The latest releases join updated versions of 1985’s No Jacket Required and 2002’s Testify, along with 1981’s Face Value, 1982’s Hello, I Must Be Going!, 1993’s Both Sides and 1996’s Dance Into The Light.

Collins has curated and complied all the albums in the series, with each presented with updated artwork and featuring extra live tracks and demos – many of which have never been issued on CD before.
