"This reissue has been a long time coming, in no small part because we wanted it to be perfect. We're happy to finally be able to announce the re-release of this psychedelic folk/funk beauty from 1973, featuring the gorgeous voices of Pat Gefell and Jo D. Andrews (and produced by Space Age percussionist/composer Dick Schory for his short-lived but influential Ovation Records imprint). At one time this was an album completely unknown outside of Chicago, where the label was based; but these days, word gets around, and tracks like 'Feel The Spirit' and 'Jenny' have been making the rounds on the DJ circuit. No matter what your musical taste is--psych-folk, funk, soft rock--this LP seems to have something special to offer. This is due in part to notable backing from veterans like bassist Phil Upchurch (Curtis Mayfield, Otis Rush, Stan Getz, Groove Holmes, and Cannonball Adderly), and space age pop maven Bobby Christian on drums and percussion. But primarily it is due to the clear voices and intelligent songs crafted by Gefell and Andrews. Our Lion Productions replica LP version comes in an old style tip-on gatefold jacket with lyrics printed inside, and includes an insert packed with band history and rare photos. It is a quality vinyl pressing, newly mastered from the original tapes. The deluxe mini-LP sleeve CD version has two booklets--one packed with rare photos from the Ovation Records archives; the other with musings by both members of the group on their time spent as Heaven & Earth. Better yet, the CD version has fifteen bonus tracks, including both sides of the duo's two singles, as well as alternate takes and some never before released songs plucked from the vaults."

Catalog #:	RB 020EP

"Zaki Dee, Rob Mello and Luke Solomon present Heaven and Earth! We know, we know, the current re-issue wave of classic house music platters is a bit much - especially the unlawful ones with photocopied artwork. But that is already one reason to do it the proper way. The other one is the fine aural pleasures Luke and the likes delivered on this one back in 1995. Originally released on the seminal Prescription imprint through the channels of Chez Damier and Ron Trent, the British Heaven & Earth project is a rather special one. While 'Space and Time' (here available in a previously unreleased re-edit that gets by without the Peter-Daou-like-solo) pays tribute to the archetypal and contemplative sounds of Damier/Trent, 'Prescription Every Night' draws of the attention to the formative years of dance music, i.e. disco elements (see old Azuli records for further reference). These very notions haven't lost an iota of their usefulness and veracity, nor have they ever left the RB record bag. Re-Mastered and re-cut with care by Lupo at D&M for your enjoyment and re-released on love made Running Back Records. Deep dub disco house!"
