Extended mixes of 6 Phil Collins hits.
1988's 12"ERS is a six-track EP compiling extended versions of the half-dozen singles from Phil Collins' best-selling 1985 release NO JACKET REQUIRED. It was released as a stopgap between Genesis' INVISIBLE TOUCH and the soundtrack to Collins' first movie, BUSTER, a brief stretch of a few months in late 1987/early 1988 which was the first time since Genesis' 1980 commercial breakthrough DUKE that there hadn't been new Collins product all over the radio.
The two highlights are the hypnotic "Take Me Home," which only benefits from the stretched-out form, and a sizzling remix of "Sussudio" which emphasizes all of the best aspects of the song while minimizing its flaws. The other four range from interesting to passable, with a barely-different version of "One More Night" being as close as it comes to actual filler.
