Condition: VG+ plays great!

Description:
Released in 1985 on Atlantic, No Jacket Required captured Phil Collins at the height of his solo fame, blending glossy synth-driven production with the rhythmic precision he had honed as Genesis’s drummer. The title stemmed from Collins being denied entry to a London restaurant for not wearing a jacket, a nod to his working-class sensibility amid the decade’s excess. Recorded in the UK during the MTV era, the album reflected both technological change in pop production and the growing influence of music video culture on mainstream success. For listeners, it documents the mid-’80s moment when Collins was shaping global pop almost single-handedly.
