PHIL COLLINS – FACE VALUE
Atlantic Records – SD 16029 / SD-16029
1981 U.S. Stereo Vinyl LP
Monarch Pressing
Original Gatefold Cover

Offered here is the exact U.S. pressing documented as Discogs release 1014007, manufactured for Atlantic Records and pressed by Monarch Record Mfg. Co. The release carries catalog number SD 16029 on the jacket and SD-16029 on the labels.

Released in 1981, Face Value was Phil Collins’ debut solo album and includes “In The Air Tonight,” “I Missed Again,” “Behind The Lines,” “If Leaving Me Is Easy,” and his cover of “Tomorrow Never Knows.”

CONDITION

VINYL: VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)

The record retains strong gloss and appears well cared for.

Only light signs of previous handling and play are visible, consistent with a properly graded VG+ record.

The Atlantic labels remain clean and readable.

COVER: VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)

The original gatefold jacket remains opened but is still in its original shrink wrap.

The shrink has helped preserve the black-and-white cover artwork, with only light age, edge, corner, and handling wear visible.

The gatefold remains structurally solid.

ORIGINAL SHRINK & STICKERS

A particularly nice feature of this copy is that the original shrink wrap remains on the jacket with all three front stickers intact:

• SUPER SAVER SERIES
• SPECIAL 6.98
• INCLUDES “IN THE AIR TONIGHT” – SD 16029

The Super Saver pricing program is period-correct for Atlantic/WEA catalog titles; Face Value was specifically listed in the WEA Super Savers program at a $6.98 list price during the 1980s.

These surviving stickers give this copy considerably more display and collector appeal than the large number of ordinary jacket copies on the market.

Please examine all photographs carefully. They show the actual record, shrink wrap, stickers, and gatefold jacket being sold.
