Up for sale is an ORIGINAL 1981 UK 7” Single 45 of Phil Collins ♫  In the Air Tonight b/w The Roof Is Leaking on Virgin VSK 102  👀

This ultra-rare Limited Edition single is housed in a 12-page CARTOON STRIP Gatefold Picture Sleeve. The cartoons were drawn by Phil’s brother Clive Collins to depict a storyboard / major events in the life of Phil Collins. This is NOT the 2015 Record Store Day reproduction of this fantastic cartoon booklet picture sleeve….it is the ORIGINAL real deal.  

This single version of  "In The Air Tonight" features extra drums that play underneath the song until the signature drum crash appears. Very unique compared to LP version. On this version, Phil plays Roland CR-78 drum machine, vocals, drums, Prophet 5 synthesizer, Rhodes piano, Roland VP-330 vocoder.

In honor of what will likely be Phil’s final North American Live Tour (currently playing LIVE now), I am listing some gems from the real king of Pop / Synth Pop Rock. Please see my other great Phil Collins items listed now. Combine shipping and save$
