Back in the day, syndicated radio shows were often provided to stations on vinyl. This is a 1986 episode of the Westwood One Superstar Concert Series, featuring an all-star charity show held in the UK for the Prince’s Trust. Over the course of three LPs, you hear an amazing lineup of Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Elton John, Bryan Adams, Phil Collins, Midge Ure, Jeff Lynne, Ben E. King and Dave Edmunds, each half-assing their way through their hits while backed by everyone else, who all clearly learned the songs that afternoon. It’s not a train wreck, but it doesn’t contain an ounce of excitement either; the entire thing is unbelievably forgettable.

Phil Collins Sunday with my children!

Phil Collins has made a number of appearances at Montreux over the years as a solo artist, with his big band or as a guest performer with the likes of Eric Clapton and Quincy Jones. This concert was filmed at the 1996 festival and captures a performance by the Phil Collins Big Band. This is the first time any of Phil’s big band material has been made available.
