Love Songs: A Compilation... Old and New is a compilation album by English musician Phil Collins. The album was released by Atlantic Recording Corporation and Rhino Entertainment on 28 September 2004. [1] The album was released only a few months after the compilation album The Platinum Collection.
The album was compiled of recordings released on previous albums as well as several previously unreleased songs, including a rehearsal take and live recordings.
The concept of Love Songs had existed since 2000. In that year, Collins and producer Rob Cavallo recorded the songs " Can't Stop Loving You," "Tears of a Clown" and " Least You Can Do" for inclusion in the compilation. However, the album did not see release and the songs were remixed and included on the 2002 studio album, Testify. [4]
The songs on Love Songs were compiled by Geoff Callingham with the track listing being approved by Phil Collins. [3] Several of the recordings—"I've Forgotten Everything," "This Must Be Love," —on the album were sped-up by several beats per minute, while none of the songs were remixed from their original albums. [5]
All tracks are written by Phil Collins, except where noted
