Phil Collins – Hello, I Must Be Going!

Perfect sounding record. Quiet and flat pressing. Great sound stage. But this edition comes without the original inner sleeve. So there are no production credits etc.. So Analogue Productions, please put the production notes or a replica of the inner sleeve inside further editions.

I now have 9 different titles from the Atlantic 75 series and every one of these puppies sound fantastic. They're all flat, quiet and clean sounding with great soundstage and just the right amount of bass but not too overwhelming like some Mofi titles are. Dare I say these are quieter than the UHQRs but they might just be. Maybe if those UHQRs were pressed on black vinyl they would be better. But then again I'm not running a pressing plant so what do I know other than what my ears tell me.

Phil Collins' album "Hello, I Must Be Going!" is undoubtedly a masterpiece of 80s pop music, captivating listeners with its catchy melodies and profound lyrics. As part of the Atlantic 75 Audiophile Series by Analogue Productions, this album has been reissued with outstanding sound quality that revolutionizes listening habits and creates a new level of musical experience.

The first thing that strikes you as the needle touches the flawless surface of the LP is the clarity and depth of the sound. Every note, every beat, and every vocal tone is reproduced with a clarity that highlights even the finest nuances of the recording. The instrumental separation is phenomenal, with each element of the arrangement occupying its own space yet harmoniously blending with the others.

The dynamic range of this album is also remarkable. From the quiet, introspective moments to the powerful, exhilarating ages, the sound quality remains balanced and precise. The gentle piano chords in "You Can't Hurry Love" sound so crystal clear that you feel like sitting right next to the pianist, while the energetic drum rhythms in "I Don't Care Anymore" make you feel like you're in the middle of a live concert.

The depth of the bass on this pressing is particularly impressive. Every bass thump is palpable and powerful, filling the room with a rich, warm wave of sound and adding an extra dimension of depth and intensity to the songs.

The quality of the pressing from Analogue Productions' Atlantic 75 Audiophile Series is a true delight for audiophile enthusiasts and music lovers alike. It allows you to experience Phil Collins' music in a quality that does justice to the artist's original vision while providing a new level of enjoyment and immersion. This reissue is not only a tribute to a great album but also proof of the tireless dedication to perfection in vinyl production. Anyone who hasn't heard this album yet is undoubtedly missing out on an extraordinary sonic experience.

I always loved this album. Always loved the original vinyl pressing. Just wall to wall good.

Couldn't wait for this pressing to arrive. Generally when the original is already good, why bother? But.....this just plain slaps!!! Clear.. quiet... incredible air in the grooves and dynamic soundstage. What a delight. Bravo Chris Bellman and thank you to all involved.

So necessary.

This is one of the loudest records ever cut. Just from a sheer decibel standpoint the beginning of side 3 could kill someone

As with "Face Value" AP did another fantastic job here. Quiet vinyl, wide sonics, great clarity, full bottom end.
Hard to believe this was cut from a 1/4" tape master (over 1/2") and a COPY at that.

(Having said that, my particular copy's Side C is slightly off center. While this is quite common with new vinyl, I expect AP to take extra steps to make sure that it never happens)

The technology used to remaster recordings from decades ago makes this a wonderful time to listen to some of your favorite records for the first time again. No exception for "Hello, I Must Be Going!" My system picked up so many nuances throughout this remaster. The standout, in my opinion, is "Thru These Walls" (probably because it's my favorite track) for the separation and echo of instruments from one speaker to another. bondy27 is correct, listening to this remaster is like having Phil, and the other fine musicians on this recording, playing right in front of you! Especially on the fine instrumental "The West Side", another favorite. Okay, they're all my favorites, okay? My only complaint, and it's petty, is having to turn the records over more than having a standard 33 1/3 pressing. It sort of breaks my air drum momentum but the 45rpm remastering calls for it, and the sound is exceptional! Yes, this one is pricey, but like any hobby that is one's ion, money is no object to obtain a recording that will sur all others. This one is a must for those who worship Phil Collins.

The best I have ever heard this record, soundstage is perfect and those drums sound like Phil’s in your listening room.. It’s a no brainer if you like Phil Collins.

Yet another repressing of a record that you can find in every single dollar bin.

Pressing is bit noisy when listened with headphones, just not blown away as I was by Face Value 45RPM. First track and "The West Side" sound really good.
