There are no particularly new revelations. Fact is, these were damn good songs back in the 60s, and they're damn good songs now. Collins fares most gloriously on upbeat tracks like "Loving You is Sweeter than Ever" and the undeniable groove in "Talkin' About My Baby," where Collins demonstrates his smooth falsetto.
-
Most of Going Back is devoted to the tried and true, though, the hits that remain staples on oldies stations across the globe, and whenever Collins is singing "Heatwave," "Uptight," "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," "Jimmy Mack" or "Going to a Go-Go," the album inches away from being a labor of love and into pure nostalgia trip, but even then the album is pleasant enough that it's hard to complain.

So faithfully have Collins and his confreres recreated the Sound of Young America--shimmering tambourines drowning out drums, bass compressed to a fat, distorted throb--that it's hard not to be swept along.
