Earth, Sun, Moon is the third album by the British band Love and Rockets, released in 1987 on Beggar's Banquet.
While the album continued in a psychedelic vein, the band also experimented with a folkier sound. Vestiges of a gothic rock sound remained, but the band continued to sound less like their previous outfit, Bauhaus.
Earth, Sun, Moon featured Love and Rockets' first hit, "No New Tale to Tell". The song reached #18 on the US Mainstream Rock chart.
In 2001, the album was remastered, but was not expanded to include any bonus tracks. The b-side of "Mirror People", "David Lanfair", the live b-sides of "No New Tale to Tell" ("Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven" and "Love Me"), and the entire "Bubbleman Rap!" single were absent from the reissue.
