Hello, I Must Be Going! (1982) |
No Jacket Required (1985) |
Hello, I Must Be Going! is an album by Phil Collins, released in 1982. This was Phil Collins' second solo record and takes its title from the Marx Brothers' song of the same name from the movie Animal Crackers.
The highlight of the album was the cover version of the Supremes hit "You Can't Hurry Love", which is one of Collins' best-known singles, although none of the other single releases from the album made any significant impact on the charts. Other notable tracks include the modern-jazz instrumental "The West Side", and "Thru These Walls", a dark vouyeristic song about a man listening through the wall to his neighbours partaking in unseemly nighttime activities -- or at least that's what he's imagining at the time. The more upbeat tracks serve as a preamble to the more commercial sound of the next album No Jacket Required. The album takes much of its inspiration from the problems in Collins' personal life, most notably the painful divorce he was going through at the time. This accounts for the dark and embittered tone on several of the tracks, including the single "I Don't Care Anymore".
[edit] Miscellanea
- This was Phil's most commercially unsuccessful album in the 1980s, with Face Value, No Jacket Required and ...But Seriously all were at least No.1 in the UK, the last two albums reached No.1 in the US.
