Warner signs deal with Phil Collins

Warner Music Group has signed a global catalogue deal with Phil Collins. It marks the first time Collins’ catalogue of multi-platinum studio albums will reside with the same label worldwide. This new partnership has set in motion a catalogue campaign that will encompass newly remastered Deluxe Editions of all eight Phil Collins studio albums as well as other uniquely curated titles from the vaults. The campaign is set to begin this autumn with Deluxe Editions of Collins’ 1981 solo debut Face Value along with 1993’s Both Sides.

“I’ve had a fantastic relationship with Warner and Atlantic throughout my career and I’m thrilled to be continuing that,” says Collins. “I’m working with them now on these new presentations. Very exciting.”

“Phil Collins has had one of the most prolific careers in modern music,” said Tim Fraser-Harding, president of global catalogue, recorded music for Warner Music Group. “As a longtime member of the Atlantic Records family, it is a joyous occasion to now be able to work with his unprecedented catalog on a fully global scale. We are looking forward to collaborating with Phil on some sensational new releases that will excite his longtime fans while also helping to introduce his songs to new generations of music lovers.”

Collins’ musical life has spanned over four decades with more than 100 million solo albums sold (250 million including work with Genesis), seven Grammy Awards, and an induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame (with Genesis in 2010).
