Limited to 1000 copies worldwide / just 200 available from Acid Jazz!
Originally released in 1994, Mother Earth’s The People Tree is a crucial album in the acid jazz canon, one 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, it 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 album is presented in a beautiful ‘wide-spine’ layout, with two printed inner sleeves, adorned with in-depth notes form Eddie Piller and unseen photos from the original cover shoot by legendary music photographer Gerard Mankiewicz.
