one of the most prominent musicians of our time. he has given us the glorious gift of his songs for many years. and in this album,you can now apretiate many of his classics like "don't you lose my number" and "sussudio". truly,a must have!
I have nothing but praise for this transaction. Sometimes I'd much rather buy a CD slightly used and in this case since it doesn't have the CD case with it, I have plenty of cases to put it in. It saves money and time and it makes the CD look new. Thanks so much for the great deal!
I have truly enjoyed my purchace and was very pleased with the fact that it was exactly as described, in description, actually even better. The seller is wonderful to deal with and would not hesitate to deal with again!!! A+++++ & 5 STARS
This was one of my favorite casette tapes (come on, you remember those?) back in the early ninties...I played the thing 'til it fell apart. Somehow always liked the "Miami Vice" down in the Florida semi-tropics feel of Phil Collins' music. There is a another track tacked on the end of this CD I do not remember from the tape, and it really does not seem to fit the rest of the format, but all in all it is relaxing and, dare I say it?...nostalgic listening.
If you are a fan of Phil Collins this CD is a must. Almost every song is a hit or close to it. Alot of it is his early stuff. When he broke away from Genisis. Which is great, too.
My husband likes Phil Collins so that's why I bought the CD for him. Plays really nice and came in a real nice package and it was fast service. I haven't any complains with the sellers on Ebay they are super nice people and great doing business with them.

More Talent Than Hair On His Head: Phil's "Jacket" Sets The Standard For 80s Pop
Review created: 12/23/05

Pros: Awesome hit singles and a few album tracks that are almost their equal.
Cons: Some of the songs are repetitive in nature, Phil's sweaty mug on the cover.
It's a pretty neat thing to have two jobs. Eh, I take that back. It's probably only neat when you receive the paycheck on Friday. But it's pretty impressive. Sh*t, I'm exhausted at the end of the work week after ONE job in which I sit at a desk for 8 hours a day. British pop star Phil Collins held down two gigs for nearly a 20 year span. No, the diminutive Collins wasn't supplementing his singing income by flipping burgers (I don't know that he would have been able to reach the grill). By day, he was 1/3 (or 1/4, or 1/5) of prog-rockers turned tight Top 40 outfit Genesis, first handling drums.

"No Jacket Required" is one of those must have albums
Review created: 05/26/03
by: stretch_nutz69 -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Excellent, amazingly crafted songs.
Cons: None whatsoever.
In 1985-86, Phil Collins career was at it's mountain-top. He truly could do no wrong. Quite fittingly, his best album is also from that span, No Jacket Required. It spent nearly 2 months atop the charts. And it spun off FOUR mammoth singles: "Sussudio", "One more night", "Don't lose my number" and "Take me home". "Who said I would" also garnered a decent amount of time on the airwaves. The liner notes are terrific. The all red back cover was a nice touch. There's no lyrics, but it gives thank-you's, credits, who-played what on each song and also gives info on where everything was recorded....

Phil Wears It Well
Review created: 08/14/00
by: rahu69 -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Keyboards and drums galore
Cons: the fact that "Long Long Way to Go" wasn't a single
If the expression no jacket required truly epitomizes Phil Collins philosophy in real life, then he has to be the coolest guy in music today. This casual, nonchalant attitude about being famous will help in bridging the gap between celebrity and ordinary Joe. Phil Collins is the Everyman of the pop world and nowhere does this shine through brighter than on his 1984 release, No Jacket Required . Throughout his long career Phil Collins has managed to maintain an upbeat and down-to-earth persona, no matter where he might stand on the Billboard chart. As for my personal chart of Top 30 albums ...

Phil at his best
Review created: 04/10/00
by: Zeikerd -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Inside Out
Cons: What's with those album covers?
Two words - "Inside Out" - as soon as this CD is in your player forward to track nine and turn amp immediately to volume 11. Surely this is what Phil Collins is all about - a savage drum beat that drives a simple yet rocking track. Yes, he does lovely love songs and soundtracks and a little bit of big band but on this album from 1985 you get 'the essence of Phil'. I bought this album the day it came out which was at a time that you went out and bought his albums without really thinking twice. They got a lot of airplay in the first place and then to top it off he was just so visible at this...
