Curtis Mayfield "Super Fly"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Charly Records, UK, 2018, CHARLY L 128, 0803415829019, 2xLP, 180g Vinyl, Special Edition, Bonus Tracks

Released in July 1972 on Curtom Records, Curtis Mayfield's Super Fly is a classic of 1970s soul and funk architecture, functioning as a rare concept-album soundtrack that completely out-grossed and outlived the cinematic work it accompanied. Mayfield serves as a street-level reporter, delivering a stinging critique of poverty and the drug trade while the Gordon Parks Jr. film ambiguously glamorised its cocaine-dealing protagonist.
