Sheena Easton / Private Heaven 2CD deluxe reissue

Sheena Easton’s 1984 album, A Private Heaven, will be reissued as a two-CD deluxe edition in February.

The album was an enormous success in America, with ‘Strut’ and the Prince-penned ‘Sugar Walls’ both reaching the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Conversely, in Britain the album and its attendant singles did absolutely nothing! Americans had certainly taken to Easton, whereas it’s fair to say the UK rather lost interest, after the success of her Bond theme, ‘For Your Eyes Only’.

This double-CD deluxe reissue features audio “remastered from the original master tapes” and includes a generous 21 bonus tracks made up of twelve-inch mixes, B-sides and 12 previously-unreleased tracks, amongst them ‘Have You Ever Been In Love’ and the long ‘Roman’ version of ‘Sugar Walls’.

This set comes with a 24-page booklet includes rare photography and new interviews with producer Greg Mathieson, songwriters Charlie Dore, Robbie Nevil and others (by ex-Attitude editor Adam Mattera).

A Private Heaven deluxe edition will be released on 25 February 2022 via Cherry Red
