Africa was re-released as a single for RSD last year as an LP... in the shape of Africa. Supposedly one of the hottest items that year. I don't get it.

Although I actually am intrigued by Lorde covering In the Air Tonight. I can see her making something of the song.
I'm sure it is a vast improvement on the original. You can't polish a turd, though.
It is and you can’t.
The drum sound on "In the Air Tonight" are pure "Making Plans for Nigel" from the Townhouse studio. It was featured in the XTC documentary.

I also remember reading somewhere that baldy bollocks was also inspired by the drum sound from PiL's Flowers of Romance.

The idea that he listened to PiL offends me. :naughty:

Collins' version of Poptones would probably be pretty good.

I hear his unreleased version of "The Cowboy Song" is a tour de force.

I'll give accolades to anything Phil Collins decides not to release.
