Curtis/Live! (Vinyl)
Curtis/Live! Is Curtis Mayfield's first live album after leaving the Impressions. Originally released in 1971 as a double LP on Mayfield's Curtom label, the album's 16 tracks were recorded at Paul Colby's 230 seats Bitter End nightclub in New York City.
Mixed by Eddie Kramer at Electric Lady Studios, the album features Henry Gibson playing percussion, Craig McMullen on rhythm guitar, Joseph Scott on bass and Tyrone McCullen on drums. Many critics feel Live! is a powerful demonstration of Mayfield's pre-Superfly accomplishment, and is rated as one of the greatest concert albums ever cut by a soul artist, and one of the legendary live albums of all time.
Double 180 gram vinyl pressing in gatefold sleeve includes two bonus studio tracks including 'Superfly' from 1973, and 'Mighty Mighty (Spade And Whitey)' from 1971.
