It's what Americans call "telephone" or "whisper down the lane," i.e., a message getting diluted/distorted by repetition, or a self-replicating (ahem) misunderstanding

Yeah, bit surprised the Guardian was using that phrase as late as 2016.

I still hear the LP version of "In the Air Tonight" at least on a weekly basis, on a whole range of stations, but yesterday was the first time I've *ever* noticed that what is I guess the single version, or maybe the video version, has extra drums throughout!

― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 9 July 2022 18:58 (one year ago) link
Very cool. Sounds like maybe some extra guitar and backing vox on the 2nd verse / chorus too The “….well I REMEMBA” part gets me every time.

According to the internet - the internet! - the single mix has extra drums because Ahmet Ertegun thought people would get bored waiting for the drums to come in. So he said to Phil Collins "add more drums" and Phil Collins said "yes" and Ahmet Ertegun said "that sounds good" and Phil Collins said "yes" and then the aeroplane crashed into the sea and it was a shark and I used the teeth to make six crowns.
I grew up with the single version so I find the album version unusual. The drum machine was a Roland CR-78, which was all over John Foxx's Metamatic. The pattern is at about 04:50 (it had preset patterns, but there was scope for variation):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2-KTcMycoE
Collins strikes me as a man who would be held in higher regard if he had never said anything ever. If he had just shut up at some point in the late 1970s and never said anything. He'd still be held in low regard because of "Groovy Kind of Love" and Live Aid and Buster, but not as low.

What’s up with these covers with Phil looking older ? Am I listening to the original albums? E.g.https://i.imgur.com/INUQNmv.png

When they were reissued a coupla years back he reshot all the sleeves as he is now. It's literally an inexplicable move.

As a concept, definitely. The images themselves always stop me in my tracks though.
Hilarious if other artists picked up the baton. Not sure Sly could pull off the Fresh leap now tbh...

So he didn’t re-record the songs on the albums? Just updated the covers?
― calstars, Monday, 23 January 2023 12:40 (one year ago) link
just take a look at me now

He didn't rerecord them. They include bonus tracks but they're all demos and live tracks from those eras, iirc.

He's a monster but not that sort of monster.

You mean like maybe Fleetwood Mac recreating elements of the Rumours cover for The Dance?

My other half worked on those reissues, and people definitely were scratching their heads at his idea of redoing the cover photos.
