London's Kalita label is reissuing two songs from Carrie Cleveland. It's the first time on 7" vinyl for the lead side, "Love Will Set You Free", which is taken from her 1980 album "Looking Up". They have flipped it with the promo version of a 1978 Audio Ent. single "Make Love To Me".
There were three different mixes of "Make Love To Me", the
promo single mix, the issued single mix and the album version. The one
that is most sought after is the promo mix featured on this release. The album version has more of a reggae feel and the issued single version has cheap sounding, synthetic keyboards. To listen to a comparison of each, all three
versions are included below.
Carrie Cleveland performed around the Bay Area in the 70s and produced the material over two years between 1978-80 with her husband Bill in their home garage studio in Oakland, CA. They 'private pressed' the recordings, the singles on Audio Ent. and the album on Cleve / Den.
Her album has been highly sought after for many years and now fetches up to £350 or more. It was bootlegged in 2015 but Kalita reissued it legitimately in 2018.
