Description
Having lent their esoteric funk-folk stylings to Prince & The Revolution during the late legendâ€™s purple reign of the early-80s, Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman left the band to pursue their own maverick musical path in 1986. Fan-favourite Eroica, their third and final album for Virgin Records, saw the duo hit a new creative peak â€“ drawing on influences ranging from Sly Stone to Joni Mitchell to create a vibrant psychedelic-funk-folk sound that was uniquely their own. ?Included on this Special Edition double-CD of 22 digitally-remastered tracks are: ?The original 1990 album including the singles â€˜Strung Outâ€™, â€˜Rainbow Lakeâ€™ and â€˜Donâ€™t Try To Tell Meâ€™, written and produced by Wendy & Lisa. Includes guest contributions by k.d. lang, Eric Leeds of The Family/Madhouse and Wendyâ€™s prolific jazz composer father Michael Melvoin. ?Bonus tracks on Disc Two include single mixes and rare b-sides as well as Lisaâ€™s â€˜Piano Improvisationsâ€™ EP â€“ originally issued as a bonus 3â€� disc with a limited edition issue of original album. Hardcore Prince fans will know â€˜Minneapolis #1â€™ better as â€˜Visionsâ€™ - the opening track to The Revolutionâ€™s unreleased final album Dream Factory. â€¢Includes a comprehensive booklet featuring single sleeves, lyrics, exclusive interview and track-by-track liner notes from ex-Attitude editor Adam Mattera and Lisa Coleman.
