The debut solo album of Curtis Mayfield, following his years of success with the Impressions, was as groundbreaking as Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. Released in 1970, it introduced a new mainstream soul sound - funkier, more progressive in arrangements, and more political and soulful in vocals. Tracks like the honest '(Don't Worry) If There's A Hell Below We're All Gonna Go,' the eight - minute dance hit 'Move On Up,' and the sweet 'We People Who Are Darker Than Blue' are absolute gems. This 50th anniversary edition is a must - have. It comes with a full LP of bonus tracks previously unavailable on vinyl, a Curtis slipmat, and new liner notes. Features include 180g black double vinyl pressing, LP2 with 9 rare bonus tracks on vinyl for the first time, repro gatefold packaging, and a limited - edition one - time pressing. Music label: Run Out Groove 2021.
