Mayfield, Curtis
Curtis/live! (2lp/nl)
Double-LP on 180-gram audiophile vinyl, packaged in a gatefold sleeve and featuring two bonustracks. 'Curtis/Live!' is Curtis Mayfield's first live solo-album. Originally released in May 1971 as a double LP on Mayfield's Curtom label, the album's 16 tracks -along with Mayfield's interstitial raps on the politics of the day- were recorded at the small Bitter End nightclub in New York City. Mixed primarily with Eddie Kramer at Electric Lady Studios, the album features Master Henry Gibson playing percussion, Craig McMullen on rhythm guitar, Joseph "Lucky" Scott on bass, and Tyrone McCullen on drums.
