Linda Perry chronology
In Flight (1996) After Hours (1999) In Flight (Re-Release) (2005)

This album is a re-release of Linda Perry's first solo album In Flight. Produced by Bill Bottrell the album was released by Perry's Custard Records in 2005. It contains original videos from the singles "Freeway" & "Fill Me Up".
Perry says that Interscope, her record label in 1996, which had been hoping for something a little catchier than In Flight, didn't promote the album, and the disappointing sales rattled her. "My gut feeling that I relied on failed me. . . . I was devastated", Perry says. She regards "In Flight" as unfinished business, a rare and deeply personal failure in an otherwise charmed professional life. It's only in hopes of giving it another chance that she consented to take on a few promotional chores.

[edit] Album information

• In Flight was descriped by Perry as a "mini-concept album" inspired by Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon - she says it's something she would like to have done earlier in her career but "I didn't have enough influence in the band." Some songs, like "In My Dreams" & "Too Deep", were already written at the 4 Non Blondes-time but they never recorded the songs.
• "Knock Me Out" (featuring Grace Slick) was featured on the soundtrack of the film "The Crow: City Of Angels".

• The album is dedicated to Kevin Gilbert, who co-wrote two of the songs and died a few months before the publication, in May 1996.
