Heaven On Earth was again re-released on August 26, 2013, in a 2CD+DVD casebook edition from Edsel Recording ( EDSG 80265 ) featuring the original album remastered, the single versions, remixes and B-sides.

"Heaven Is A Place On Earth" has caught the public's ear, but only "Circle In The Sand" has any of the exuberant character that propelled "Mad About You," the saving grace of Carlisle's solo debut.

Here she attacks a variety of styles, from the haunting "Circle In The Sand" to an appropriately psychedelic remake of Cream's 'I Feel Free" to the prime pop of "Should I Let You In?"
