Description
Originally released in 1994, Mother Earths The People Tree is a gem of an album that encapsulates a love of soul, funk and folk-tinged 70s rock. To mark its 30th Anniversary, it is set for a special edition 2LP reissue that includes the original album, three previously unreleased tracks, and a further six that have never before been on vinyl. It has been remastered from the original analogue recordings. One of the best-loved albums in Acid Jazz history, The People Tree was the product of over a year of sessions, led by label-founder Eddie Piller, and features guest appearances from Paul Weller, Dee C Lee, and Brand New Heavies Simon Bartholomew. Bonus tracks include the previously-unreleased alternative Apple Green with a distinctive female backing vocal, an alternative version of Illusions, and the title track. First-time vinyl cuts include the alternate master of Jesse, A Trip Down Brian Lane and the heavy funk of Slide Sweet Baby. The reissue also includes in-depth sleeve notes form Eddie Piller and unseen photos from the original cover shoot by Gerald Mankiewicz.
