If you are considering divorcing a rock star, let
Hello, I Must Be Going! serve as fair warning of what you're likely to face once the papers have been signed and the settlements made. Collins got the last word on sundering his relationship with first wife Jill (he actually addresses her by name on the album!) and managed to deliver it to millions of homes via this album, which contains one blistering diatribe after another: "I Don't Care Anymore", "I Cannot Believe It's True", "Do You Know, Do You Care?" and "It Don't Matter to Me". The mood is tempered a bit by a lively remake of the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love" and "Like China", a sprightly rocker celebrating new love. Yet as listenable and engaging as it is,
Hello, I Must Be Going! has to be regarded as one of the angriest albums in mainstream rock history, which is great stuff, when you're in the mood for that sort of thing.

CD Description
The omnipresent Phil took two years to follow Face Value, which cynics believed to be a fluke and fans willed him to repeat. This album rocketed him back to the top, together witha number 1 single, 'You Can't Hurry Love', and a superb video featuring Phil in triplicate with a tonic mohair suit andBlues Brother shades. The rest is in a similar vein to his debut, albeit with a happier theme running throughout. The album's finale is the touching 'Why Can't It Wait 'Til Morning', a sentence we have all used in the same way at some timein our lives.
