SUPERFLY (RHINO HIGH FIDELITY) AAA Cut From The Original Stereo Master Tapes By Kevin Gray Pressed On 180-Gram Heavyweight Vinyl At Optimal Heavyweight Glossy Gatefold Jacket Features An Exclusive Insert Featuring Liner Notes By Aaron Cohen
Curtis Mayfield’s SUPER FLY soundtrack pioneered socially aware soul in the early ’70s with its groundbreaking, orchestral-funk arrangements and unflinching lyrical commentary. Released in July 1972, the soundtrack famously outperformed the film, reaching #1 on the Billboard albums chart and eventually selling over 12 million copies worldwide. While other soundtracks of the blaxploitation era glamorized street life, Mayfield provided a searing critique of systemic poverty and drug abuse. Anchored by the gold-certified, million-selling singles “Freddie’s Dead” and “Superfly,” the album was recorded during an intensive three-day session at RCA Studios in Chicago, except for “Pusherman,” captured earlier in New York City.
