Stevie Wonder – Fulfillingness‘ First Finale [New Vinyl LP]
Stevie Wonder – Fulfillingness‘ First Finale [New Vinyl LP] Artist: Stevie Wonder Title: Fulfillingness‘ First Finale Format: Vinyl LP Genre: Soul/R & B UPC: 602557378382 Release Date: 2017 Record Label: Motown Album TracksDISC 1:1. Smile Please2. Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away3. Too Shy to Say4. Boogie on Reggae Woman5. Creepin’DISC 2:1. You Haven’t Done Nothin’2. It Ain’t No Use3. They Won’t Go When I Go4. Bird of Beauty5. Please Don’t Go Vinyl LP pressing. Directly from Stevie Wonder’s string of classic albums, FFF, originally released in 1974, was the follow-up to Innvervisions. It was a #1 hit for several weeks, led by the #1 single ‚You Haven’t Done Nothin‘ and ‚Boogie On Reggae Woman.‘ This vinyl re-release features a reproduction of the original collage artwork depicting Stevie’s life on original gatefold cover, with full (and, in some cases, corrected) lyrics inside. Winner of three Grammy Awards including Album of the Year. FFF is Wonder’s nineteenth album overall, and seventeenth studio album. According to Billboard magazine, it was Wonder’s first studio album to top the Pop Albums chart where it remained for two weeks, while it was his third album to top the R&B/Black Albums chart where it spent nine non-consecutive weeks. Subsequent to the epic sweep and social consciousness of Innervisions, this set projected a reflective, decidedly somber tone.] The musical arrangements used in several songs while masterly could be considered sparse in comparison to others among his 1970s masterworks, evident especially in the bleak „They Won’t Go When I Go“ and understated „Creepin'“. While largely a stripped down, more personal sounding record, Wonder had not completely foregone social commentary on the world around him.Copyright DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Erykah Badu – Worldwide Underground [New Vinyl LP] Artist: Erykah Badu Title: Worldwide Underground Format: Vinyl LP Genre: Urban UPC: 602498604960 Release Date: 2003 Record Label: Motown Album Tracks1.

Erykah Badu considers this R&B record, „Worldwide Underground,“ an EP, but it is longer than most full LPs. More of a jam session release than an album of singles, Erykah gives writing and production credit to her supergroup she calls Freakquency. She’s joined by stars such as Queen Latifah, Lenny Kravitz, Angie Stone, Donald Byrd and many others. It is an easy album to love, and just kick on and groove. With hits such as „Back in the Day (Puff)“ and „Danger,“ „Worldwide Underground“ climbed all the way up to #3 on the Billboard 200 in 2003.© DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.
