Which includes Move On Up, Live. & Curtis Mayfield Live At Ronnie Scott's It's been in the Media Source Section a few months now, so you may have already seen it. Edited November 22, 2006 by 45cellar

Sutty Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) never understood, considering the number of midtempo tunes that get played, how 'wild and free' never gets any needle time Edited November 22, 2006 by Sutty
Guest mrallsorts Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Was reissued a few years ago on a very good pressing with 180 gram virgin vinyl, original gatefold and everything, better to have it on that than the original pressing Yes I agree....I have the original album and find that I have to turn the gain right up to have it loud enough and then Its prone to rumble.
Guest Matt Male Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Seconded - in particular "We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue" is awesome political deep soul Agreed, forget Move On Up, great as it is, We The People.. is the track to own this album for. Sometimes i sit listening to it with headphones on just looking at the pictures of Curtis with his kids on the album sleeves. Genius
