This week in 1983, “You Can’t Hurry Love” by Phil Collins reached on the UK Singles Chart - his first chart topper in the country.

“The idea of doing ‘Can’t Hurry Love’ was to see if Hugh Padgham and I could duplicate that Sixties sound. It’s very difficult today because most recording facilities are so much more sophisticated than they were back then. It’s therefore hard to make the drums sound as rough as they did on the original. That’s what we were going after, a remake, not an interpretation, but a remake.” - Phil, 1986.
