Black and White in a Grey World is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Leslie Phillips, released in late 1985 on Myrrh Records.
Phillips earned her first Grammy Award nomination (under Leslie Phillips) for Best Gospel Performance, Female for Black and White... at the 28th Grammy Awards. The album was once again produced by Dan Posthuma and climbed to number 13 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart.
Note: The cassette and LP versions did not include "Larger Than Life" and "Love Is Not Lost." However, these tracks were issued on vinyl in Australia. "Love Is Not Lost" would later be re-recorded for Phillips' 1987 album, The Turning. Both of those songs would be on the CD and digital editions. "Love is Not Lost" appears on the Word Records music sampler Take 'Em With You 4 on cassette from the CD version. The digital edition has replaced the original recordings of "You're the Same" with the home demo version and "When the World Is New" with the radio edit that has trimmed the 30 second intro. Both were featured on her 1988 compilation Recollection. You can listen to the original album recording on the YouTube link below this article.
