Change 20

Change European-American collaborations were not uncommon during the disco and post-disco eras. Donna Summer's work with Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte was most prominent and groundbreaking, while Change was among the most noteworthy – yet somewhat overlooked – international acts to spring up during the early ‘80s. Driven by Guadeloupian producer Jacques Fred Petrus and Italian partner Mario Malavasi, Change is most commonly associated with “The Glow of Love,” a 1980 single featuring Luther Vandross over a wistful Chic-like production. Through a series of minor transformations – a shifting array of vocalists and behind-the-scenes associates – the group released 11 other charting singles from 1980 through 1985, as well as six charting albums, two of which peaked in the Top Ten of Billboard’s R&B Albums chart. When Petrus and Malavasi conceptualized Change, they had several projects under their belts, including Macho, Midnight Band, Revanche, and Peter Jacques Band.

Reach For The Sky features a 24-page booklet with rare photos, plus definitive liner notes with brand new interviews and a track-by-track commentary by some of those who helped define Change's biggest hits, including Jocelyn Brown ('A Lover's Holiday'), Diva Gray ('Paradise'), James "Crabbe" Robinson ('The Very Best In You'), and Deborah Cooper ('Change of Heart'). Newly remastered from the original tapes and housed in a deluxe digipak adorned with Greg Porto's iconic artwork throughout, including this release's front cover.
