Love is Not Lost / River of Love [7-inch single]

Description

Love is Not Lost, – b/w “River of Love” – is a two-sided 45 RPM 7-inch vinyl single by the American singer and songwriter Leslie Phillips, released on Horizon/A&M Records in 1987, manufactured and distributed by A&M Records (catalogue number AM-2938). Both tracks taken from Phillips’ full-length album The Turning released on Myrrh Records in 1987, also manufactured and distributed by A&M Records. The album was recorded at Eagle Audio in Fort Worth, Texas; and at multiple studios in the Los Angeles area, California – Sound Factory; Sunset Sound; Mad Hatter; Mama Jo’s Recording Studio; and Capitol Studios – with T-Bone Burnett producing. Mixed by Tchad Blake. The track on the A-side was written by Leslie Phillips with the flip-side written by producer T-Bone Burnett.

An earlier version of “Love Is Not Lost” (which was produced by Dan Posthuma) was included as a bonus track on the CD edition of Leslie Phillip’s 1985-album, Black and White in a Grey World. “River Of Love” was originally written and recorded by T-Bone Burnett for his self-titled 1986 album.

Phillips’ debut commercial single has a classic pop ring that places her in immediate contention with The Bangles and ’til tuesday. Burnett’s tight production is open enough for every sound to ricochet in layers of sparkling, ringing sound. [Cash Box Magazine, May 2, 1987 (Single Releases – Feature Picks)]
