In an interview reported by Louder, Phil reflected on his unexpected solo Rock Hall recognition and the improvisation behind his early songs. The induction ceremony is scheduled for November 14.
A 30th anniversary edition of his 1996 album arrived on translucent orange and blue vinyl, with songs including the title track and his cover of Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’.”
Phil spoke with Craig McLean about Face Value, his recovery and his long connection with The King’s Trust. The interview also discussed items he is donating to the charity’s 50th anniversary auction.
Face Value (Full Value) brings together a half-speed remaster, demos, outtakes and rare live recordings across four LPs. A separate Blu-ray offers Steven Wilson’s new Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and stereo mixes.
A previously unreleased version of “You Know What I Mean,” recorded at Perkins Palace in 1982, arrived as the first digital single from Face Value (Full Value).
