KALITA 7002EP
|
Kalita Records announce the first ever official 7" single release of Carrie Cleveland's highly sought-after soulful disco masterpiece "Love Will Set You Free", backed by her equally elusive promotional version of "Make Love To Me". At long last, Kalita collates Carrie's two most in-demand recordings on one 7" single, housed in a picture sleeve limited to just 500 copies. Originally written, produced and performed by Carrie and her husband Bill in their home garage studio and privately released over a space of three years between 1978 and 1980, the two recordings showcase both Carrie's captivating vocals and Bill's musical prowess. Although Carrie's album and singles were originally soon lost to memory without the promotional tools of the major labels at the time, her music has since become highly sought-after on the soul and disco scene, with original copies of her album and singles reaching £300+ on the rare occasion that they come up for sale. Now, in follow up to their 2018 discography retrospective on Carrie's life and music, Kalita showcase her two greatest songs on this limited 7" picture sleeve single.

KALITA 002CD
|
Kalita Records present the first ever and definitive discography of Carrie Cleveland. Here, The label offers an expanded version of her 1978 album Looking Up, including both the issue and promotional versions of her single "Make Love To Me", and the previously unknown sweet soul single "I've Got A Feeling". Privately arranged, recorded, and produced by Carrie and her husband Bill as a labor of love in their backyard studio in 1978, Looking Up is one of the most in-demand soul/disco LPs in existence, sought-after in particular for their track "Love Will Set You Free". In addition, the promotional version of Carrie's single "Make Love To Me" is one of the best and rarest sweet soul records to have emerged out of the West Coast soul scene, and her single "I've Got A Feeling" is until today virtually unknown even to the most seasoned of collectors, with even Carrie herself unsure if it was ever released. With the album originally pressed in a limited run of just 1000, with 500 copies of each single, original copies of Carrie's records deservingly command eye-watering figures on the second-hand market. Kalita Records now satisfy the thirst with the first ever official reissue of her entire discography. Includes extensive interview-based liner notes and never before seen photos, detailing Carrie and Bills' life and musical career. CD version is accompanied by a mini-poster.
