Here is a standout piece for any’80s music fan or serious record collector: an original No Jacket Required album personally signed by Phil Collins. This is the record that turned Collins from respected Genesis frontman and solo artist into one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, and having his autograph on the classic orange-and-neon cover makes it a trophy-level item that belongs front and center in any collection. Released in 1985, No Jacket Required was Phil’s third solo album and his most successful by far. It shot to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart, staying at the top in America for seven weeks and in Britain for five. The album spun off four massive U. Top 10 singles: “Sussudio” and “One More Night” both hit No. 1 on the Hot 100, “Don’t Lose My Number” reached No. 4, and “Take Me Home” climbed to No. Phil Collins himself has had one of the most remarkable careers in modern music. Born in 1951 in London, he first rose to fame as the drummer and eventually lead singer of Genesis before launching a solo career that dominated the charts throughout the’80s and early’90s. Between his work with Genesis and his own solo hits, he became one of a very small group of artists to sell over 100 million records both as part of a band and on his own. Now in his mid-70s, Phil is officially retired from touring and has been candid about serious health issues stemming from spinal and nerve problems, which have left him unable to drum and relying on a cane and full-time assistance. Those challenges, combined with his retirement, mean new signed pieces are increasingly uncommon, adding extra weight to an authentic signature from his mid-’80s prime. On this copy of No Jacket Required, Phil’s autograph stands out beautifully against the bold, instantly recognizable cover-the close-up of his face bathed in warm red-orange light that every MTV-era fan remembers. Framed on a wall or displayed next to your turntable, it instantly evokes the sound of “Sussudio, ” the late-night mood of “One More Night, ” the cinematic sweep of “Take Me Home, ” and the tightly produced pop perfection that defined 1985 radio. For fans who grew up with his music, collectors of’80s pop and rock, or anyone building a serious wall of iconic signed albums, this Phil Collins-signed No Jacket Required is the perfect centerpiece. It captures the moment when Phil was at the absolute height of his powers-topping charts around the world, winning Grammys, and soundtracking an entire decade-and brings that history right into your home in one unforgettable, display-ready package. Phil Collins, born January 30, 1951, is 74 (turning 75 in January 2026) and has significant ongoing health issues, primarily from a 2007 spinal injury causing nerve damage, leading to mobility problems and chronic pain that prevent him from playing drums and often require crutches or assistance to walk, plus recent kidney problems and other ailments, necessitating 24/7 nursing care.
