Ivana Santilli - Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind B/w Air Of Love - 7-INCH SINGLE [7 inch Vinyl Disc]

Love Touch Records is excited to a brand new two-sider 7Inch by Canadian icon, singer/songwriter/composer Ivana Santilli. Ivana burst onto the scene in 1995 with her band Bass Is Base, for which she collected a Juno award. Ivana has since released five solo albums, racked up countless awards nominations and accolades, performed internationally from London to Tokyo, and toured with legendary musical acts like James Brown, Tito Puente, de la Soul, Jamiroquai, and the Roots. She has also collaborated with Omar (UK), Stuart Matthewman (Sade/Maxwell) and Mike Lindup (Level 42). Here, the A-side sees her covering a much slept-on Level 42 track, InchOut Of Sight, Out Of MindInch. It's a decidedly different take on the UK band's song, who are best known for their 1985 hit, InchSomething About YouInch. Side B's InchAir Of LoveInch is a slow burner that is equal parts Gap Band and Loose Ends. Santilli's sultry vocals, rich keys and poignant songwriting has blessed both tracks here, no doubt!

Sun Ra was a master of misdirection. Tape boxes wrongly labeled-whether by accident or design-are legendary among Ra archivists. One can speculate about the artist's intent or carelessness, but source misinformation abounds on Ra tape cases, album jackets, cassettes, ephemera-as well as in interviews. It's as if Ra, in furtherance of his own mythmaking, wanted to keep historians guessing.This project began as a misidentified tape discovered by Michael D. Anderson of the Sun Ra Music Archive. The 7-inch reel, which contained a live Ra solo piano performance of 11 works-some recognizable, others not-was of stellar quality, and was marked as a 1979 Carnegie Hall date. But the program on the tape did not align with known facts (e.g., titles played, concert duration) which were chronicled in a Newsday review of Ra's appearance at Carnegie in September of that year. With a prod from writer/historian Ted Gioia and further research by myself, the tape was eventually identified as a mostly unreleased July 1977 performance by Ra at a downtown NYC Inchjazz caféInch called The Axis-in-Soho.
