It certainly isn't a well known fact. Fair enough, but she was marketed as a solo singer.
I know, but in fact, the other three members bassist Paul Denman, keyboardist Andrew Hale and saxophonist Stuart Mathewman have always appeared in every albums' booklet and every music video.
What is more, Sade are defined in Wikipedia as a band of which Sade Adu is the singer.
Samson's Head On only with drummer Thunderstick.
Do complilations count? If so, ABC's The Look Of Love only has Martin Fry on the cover
The same as the band's first studio album The Lexicon of Love, likewise only featuring Martin Fry on the cover.
I think all Sade's albums. Maybe it is not a well-known fact, but Sade is not a solo singer but a quartet of which Ms Adu is a member.
New Order's Low-Life
I never heard "Abacab" on the radio either.
I DID hear 'Abacab' on radio once. It was in Spain (an unlikely country), on 19th May 2022 (I can confirm it was on that day because I heard it in the car coming home from the screening of a limited released film and I have checked the date). I remember it was the album version and it was on Kiss FM. Despite the station's name, its English equivalent is Smooth Radio. By the way, the most-played Genesis song on radio in Spain is 'Jesus, He Knows Me' by far.

Below are the transcriptions for the intros for each episode of a special programme from a Spanish radio station on Phil Collins for his 70th birthday.
Phil Collins 70th Birthday 1. Face Value:
Phil Collins will turn 70 the-day-after-tomorrow. And this year marks the 40th anniversary of the release of Face Value, beyond his previous albums with Genesis and Brand X. We will be joined by Gonzalo Albert, publisher of Not Dead Yet, the autobiography by Collins, with whom the publisher got on very well while working the Spanish edition. Phil Collins, the five-year-old kid whom was given a drum kit, the young man who attended the Melody Maker-advertised audition for Genesis' new drummer, the drummer who sang as the replacement of Peter Gabriel, the singer who joined Brand X's Jazz-fusion, the solo artist who became pop star collaborated with Eric Clapton, the living Beatles, Stephen Bishop, John Martyn, Abba's Frida and Walt Disney productions.
Phil Collins 70th Birthday 2. Collins in Black:
Phil Collins will be 70 tomorrow. Yesterday we went over his career with his Spanish publisher Gonzalo Albert, from Genesis through Brand X to his stratospheric solo career. Today, Friday, we dig in the black music-influenced side of Collins' discography: his collaboration with EWF, his passion for Motown and 60s Soul. Besides, we get into some 'urban' covers of his hits by Brandy, Lil' Kim and Dane Bowers+Kelis. Oh! And the collaboration between Quincy Jones and Phil.
I know this is not fresh stuff but I've decided to upload it.
Three years ago, on 28th and 29th January 2021, Spanish public broadcasting radio station RNE3 broadcast a two-part Phil Collins special, on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
I heard both episodes at the time, but I couldn't find the links until now.
Como Lo Oyes Phil Collins 70th Birthday Part 1: Face Value
Como Lo Oyes Phil Collins 70th Birthday Part 2: Collins in Black
The funny thing is that RNE3 follows the post-1994 Radio1 format, so it does not generally play Mr Collins 
, let alone dedicate a whole programme on him! So this piece is quite surprising. 
I remember the amazement of hearing him on that frequency. 
Part 1 (Face Value) is an anthological review of PC's career, whereas Part 2 (Collins in Black) deals with Phil's funky side.
The host summed up the cycle at the end of the last episode with the verbatim statement that PC deserved the best for 'being such a good person, a righteous and generous man...and he pays all his taxes' 
.
The host, Santiago Alcanda, turned out to be a huge fan of Phil Collins, having interviewed him several times. Mr Alcanda declared that he would talk about Phil Collins for hours, even asking to let him get the world record for most time single-topic speaking 
. Joking apart, he gave some quite juicy statements. He disclosed that after an interview Collins revealed Alcanda that he had been wronged by James Taylor in a serious way. Does anybody know anything about this story? Alcanda stated that the major setback done by JT on PC was so thorny that he could not tell about it on-air. 
I will give you in the next post the translations for each episode's introduction that appears on their websites.
PS: The playlist showing up on the website of the second episode is not the actual one featured in it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PHIL!!!!
I wish you all the best and all the happiness for your 72nd birthday!
YOU DESERVE THEM BOTH, MR COLLINS.
For he's a jolly good fellow,
For he's a jolly good fellow,
For he's a jolly good fellow,
...He's a man of our times
And so say all of us!
Because I have always felt an affinity with Oz. It's a great country.

Very, very, very hard to choose.
I have never been to the Southern Hemisphere.
I hope it will be otherwise soon.
I am eager for Australia, all my life I have wanted to go there.
I've never listened to Calling All Stations or anything by Ray Wilson. I have little to no interest in that era of the band.
Likewise myself.
When I bought the re-mixed albums recently, I stopped at Dance Into The Light and consequently never heard what Nick Davis did with Testify. Maybe it's time I gave the album another go?
YES, YOU SHOULD!
High Flying Angel alone is reason enough to get Testify's 2CDs version.
I wonder why it was not included in the album's original version.
Anyway, Testify is a good album.
Sure...next up Noel Gallagher having the same revelation?
I think the boggard goblin in question always had a psycho-sexual crush on Mr Collins, apart from envying PC for having two eyebrows while the boggard just one.
I have been comparing various Genesis compilations lately. It might be a bit nerdy but I actually like to muse about song selections and track orders. Also, Genesis is the only band I became a collector of compilations of, probably due to the fact I have long been familiar with all of their material and there's no new albums going to be made.
Sorry Schrottrocker, but you forgot to mention the Australian compilation from 1990 The Vertigo Years.
It has the same cover as Turn It On Again: Best of '81-'83 (in fact it was the other way round as Turn It On Again: Best of '81-'83 took it from The Vertigo Years) and its tracklist includes all the songs from Genesis/Shapes album (but featuring Mama and Illegal Alien in their single versions) combined with three from Abacab (the opening track that gave its name to the album, Man on the Corner and Another Record), B-Side Open Door and the live version of Misunderstanding that would also appear in the next year in Turn It On Again'81-'83.
In other words, it can be considered as Genesis/Shapes with bonus tracks, in fact this is the CD that I play when I want to listen to Genesis/Shapes, just because I prefer Illegal Alien in its integrity.
I used the term 'highbrow' meaning snob.
I could also have written 'arty-farty'.
And yes, The Spectator is nothing more than a brochure by a bunch of cultural (and functional) illiterate chattering toffs who (out of an inferiority complex) despise Middle England (or all).
Last November highbrow magazine The Spectator featured the article "Against All Odds, I've Started to Like Phil Collins".
Another Phil Collins-bashing piece of writing.
