Face value

Encyclopedia : F : FA : FAC : Face value

Face Value is the title of Phil Collins' debut solo album, released in February of 1981. The album includes one of Collins' greatest hits "In the Air Tonight".

Like the album after Face Value (Hello, I Must Be Going!) most of the songs are based on the pain and anger Collins felt while he was going through his divorce.

Other singles didn't have the same chart success as "In the Air Tonight", they were: "I Missed Again", which reached No. 14 in the UK and No. 19 in the USA. Also "If Leaving Me Is Easy" was released as a single, reaching No. 17 in the UK, but was never released as a single in the USA.
