Sorry, I don't have it and never heard it. Where did you order it? I would like to hear more of his stuff but so much of it is out of print. I thought Rhino was going to reissue more of his albums? | |

I ordered BACK TO THE WORLD from Ebay..... Actually a LOT of Curtis Mayfield's music is STILL in Print....here's the link to it... http://www.cduniverse.com...search=yes The classics from Mayfield that u MUST have is "New World Order"(1996)..Curtis made that CD right before he died...he actually made it while lying down in a hospital bed...other classic albums from him are, of course, "Superfly" and U MUST get his solo debut from 1970, "CURTIS." Thats probably his BEST solo album...it has the MATERPEICES "The Makings Of You", "Move On Up", "We People Who Are Darker Than Blue" and "If There's A Hell Below." U MUST order the "CURTIS" album  [This message was edited Sat Aug 28 15:40:06 2004 by DigitalGardin] | |

I do have Curtis, Curtis Live and Roots ordered. Are there any decent compilations of his solo work? Most of them seem to be very light on post 1972 material. | |

It was a 3-disc box set covering Mayfield whole career. This box set is really awesome. Rhino really knows how 2 make a comprehensive compilation! Check me out and add me on:

Many fans myself included believe this just might be his greatest album so you couldn't have gone too wrong. It's his most emotional and inventive record if you ask me. | |

"Right On For The Darkness" is the shit!  (sampled for Mase's "Tell Me What You Want From Me.") I also love "Future Shock," but the album sounds as if it wasn't mixed or mastered properly...kind of fuzzy-like. | |
