Going Back (album)

Going Back is the eighth studio album by the English singer-songwriter and drummer Phil Collins, released on 13 September 2010 by Atlantic Records. His first solo album in eight years, it features covers of 1960s Motown and soul standards. Going Back made an impact on the charts worldwide, becoming a top five album in 16 countries. It became Collins's first UK number one studio album since 1993's Both Sides. Two editions were released; a standard edition with 18 tracks and a limited Ultimate Edition with 25 tracks and a DVD with various bonus content. Exclusive versions available on Amazon and iTunes were also available. Collins promoted the album with a seven-date tour in June and July 2010. Although Collins said Going Back was to be his final project with his retirement in 2011, he later resumed his career in 2015. Nevertheless, it remains his most recent studio work to date. In 2016, Going Back was reissued as The Essential Going Back with fewer studio tracks, but additional live recordings and updated artwork.
