Description
Entirely curated and compiled by Collins himself, his idea for the Take A Look At Me Now concept is to examine how his songs have evolved over time, with the majority of the additional content throughout the series focused on live versions of the tracks. By contrasting the original studio versions of the material with later performances, the series demonstrates how Collins songs take on a life of their own once theyre freed from the confines of the studio.
The concept, he said at the time, Was not to bring anything new to these already great records, but to try to recreate the sounds and feelings that I had when I first heard them. That objective was achieved with the help of special guests including three surviving members of The Funk Brothers: Eddie Willis (guitar), Bob Babbitt (bass) and Ray Monette (guitar).
I decided to call this version of Going Back The Essential Going Back, he explains. 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.
Therefore, this abridged track list features Collins essential 14 tracks from the original album, with a second disc of live versions available on CD for the first time.
