Tomorrow — Sunday the 18th at noon EST — the third volume of The HiFi Experience begins. Mid-January invites a different kind of attention. The noise recedes. Clarity matters more than momentum. Certain voices meet that space naturally — direct, human, emotionally precise. This third volume is shaped by that sensibility. Work that balances intimacy and scale without sacrificing restraint or craft. Tomorrow’s entire session is shaped by the music of Phil Collins — not through convenience, but through rarity. Selections drawn from the Take A Look At Me Now… vinyl remaster campaign — a series that was never issued as a complete vinyl box, only partially released, with the rest scattered across limited pressings that are now notoriously difficult to track down. Most people know the CD box. Almost nobody has heard these vinyl masters. Even fewer have assembled them. These were not mass-market reissues. They were short-run, carefully mastered 180-gram editions, released quietly, inconsistently, and gradually disappearing into private collections. Tomorrow, they’re not sitting on a shelf. They’re being played — properly. No shuffle. No compression. No background listening. This is archival playback in real time. A body of work preserved, reclaimed, and presented with intention — inside a space designed for presence, not distraction. If you’re here, you’re not catching a stream. You’re stepping into something very rare. ----------------------------------------- Phil Collins — Take A Look At Me Now… The Complete Vinyl Collection (2016 Remastered Editions) • Face Value — 2016 (original 1981) · Vinyl LP · Remastered · 180 g • Hello, I Must Be Going! — 2016 (original 1982) · Vinyl LP · Remastered · 180 g • No Jacket Required — 2016 (original 1985) · Vinyl LP · Remastered · 180 g • …But Seriously — 2016 (original 1989) · Vinyl LP · Remastered · 180 g • Both Sides — 2016 (original 1993) · Vinyl LP · Remastered · 180 g • Dance Into the Light — 2016 (original 1996) · Vinyl LP · Remastered · 180 g • Testify — 2016 (original 2002) · Vinyl LP · Remastered · 180 g • Going Back — 2016 (original 2010) · Vinyl LP · Remastered · 180 g

Tomorrow — Sunday the 11th at noon EST — the second volume of The HiFi Experience launches. This week widens the frame. Listening shifts from immediacy to movement — ideas unfolding gradually, narratives stretching longer, structure becoming part of the experience itself. This second volume follows that arc, shaped by a body of work where ambition, storytelling, and progression were never secondary considerations. Tomorrow’s entire session is shaped by the sounds of Genesis.
