As a special treat and for the first time on CD, fans will finally be able to enjoy eight ultra-rare bonus tracks from the Project 3 archives: Ellen Dedrick�s 1969 solo 45, as well as six Tony Mottola cuts recorded in 1968 and featuring �The Groovies� on background vocals (aka The Free Design)

The Free Design, those oft-overlooked legends of �60s soft pop, drew inspiration from such diverse musicians as Duke Ellington and The Mamas & The Papas. Today, with its sweet harmonies and even sweeter lyrics, The Free Design inspires such diverse musicians as Belle & Sebastian and Jurassic 5. Listen to the band�s acclaimed third album, Heaven/Earth, to experience a sound that has awed the in-the-know for more than three decades. The New York-based family band � siblings Bruce, Chris, Sandy & younger sister Ellen � recorded Heaven/Earth in 1969 for acclaimed producer Enoch Light�s Project 3 label. The album is quintessential Free Design with �a sweet sound that caressed the aural taste buds and floated deliciously,� in the words of rock historian Kingsley Abbott, �daring listeners to follow it.� Chris Dedrick�s imaginative lyrics of both innocence and irony, and the band�s tight vocals and dreamy enthusiasm, shine on �2002 � A Hit Song,� �Dorian Benediction,� and the album�s other delights.
