Not Dead Yet: The Memoir

"(...)Home, briefly, in May 1983, I meet up with Mike and Tony at The Farm. After all my running around it’s good to be back with the guys again. As we embark on what will be Genesis’ self-titled twelfth album, now that our studio is fully operational we have the luxury of both time and improvisation. Mike plays around with a new toy.
As he later describes the harsh rhythmic sound he comes up with: “I programmed that with the very first big Linn drum machine. And I did something the Americans would never do: I put it through my guitar amplifier, a small one, and I turned it up so loud that it was jumping up and down on the chair. What the English do well is take a sound and fuck it up. That’s a prime example. It’s just a horrible but great sound.”
He’s not wrong. Straight away it works. We all fall in love with it and, inspired, I do my best John Lennon impersonation, and I also take a vocal cue from Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five’s “The Message,” adding in the maniacal laugh.
And that’s “Mama,” the lead single from the Genesis album. Our biggest ever U.K. hit, both of its time and timeless, and an enduring stage classic. It’s followed by “That’s All,” the writing of which begins with a piano riff of Tony’s and becomes our first U.S. Top 10 single. Released in October 1983, the album is another U.K. number 1, and sells 4 million copies in the U.S., by some margin our biggest at that point. At this time we’re just very lucky. Whether it’s my thing or the Genesis thing, it just keeps getting bigger. One profile is reinforcing the other, and our songs seem to be exciting more and more people.(...)"

Песня "Мама" - Классика жанра. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccs2rt0oSzQ
Электронная версия автобиограяии Коллинза находится через Либрусек.
Также есть аудиокнига на английском, начитанная самим Коллинзом, но она трудновата для восприятия на слух из-за рывкообразного акцента и скорости.

В целом книга интересная, особенно первое знакомство-прослушивание с Дженесиз и Гэбриелом, начало соло карьеры, история про Live Aid приключения Коллинза с ошибкой в исполнении песни и жесть выступление с Лед Зеппелин и пр.

Phil Collins - Against All Odds (Live Aid 1985)
Но много скучной семейной бытовухи и оправдываний в духе "такой уж я есть" по поводу романтических забегов в прошлое и настоящее, один из которых в начале 90х значительно усложнил жизнь как самому Коллину так и его окружению.
