"Sides" is officially the third (but technically the fourth) solo album from former Genesis guitarist Anthony Phillips. It was released in 1979 by Passport Records. For a limited period it was sold bundled with a complimentary copy of his "Private Parts and Pieces" album.

This album was produced by Rupert Hine and intended for a mainstream audience. On the original LP, side one showcased shorter pop songs, while side two highlighted longer, more progressive pieces.

Genesis crew members Dan Owen and Dale Newman provide vocals on some tracks.

Peter Cross did the artwork for the album.
