Rick James "Street Songs"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Motown, US, 2015, B0022961-01, 0600753160107, Remastered, Reissue

Released in April 1981 on Motown's Gordy imprint, Rick James’ fifth studio album, Street Songs, is a classic of the "Punk-Funk" era. Following a lukewarm reception to his previous album, Garden of Love, James returned with an aggressive, tightly produced, and raw collection of urban stories that spent 20 weeks at number one on the US R&B charts and went 4x platinum. It bridges the gap between classic funk, hard rock energy, and new wave dance pop, effectively revitalising the Motown label at a time when it was struggling to find crossover chart-toppers.
