Our reissue’s expanded packaging incorporates artwork from the LP’s European release, which did feature a pic of Teena. Also included is an essay by A. Scott Galloway and lots of quotes from Teena.



Wild And Peaceful: Expanded Edition was supervised by Teena Marie and is the first of three of her original Motown albums to get the Select remastered and expanded treatment. We’ve added three bonus tracks to the album’s original classic six: the 12” instrumental flipside of “I’m A Sucker For Your Love”; “You Got The Love,” a session outtake; and a stunning closer, “Every Little Bit Hurts.” Though another version of the latter, a cover of Brenda Holloway’s first Motown hit, was released on a 1994 Teena Marie hits collection, the artist pointedly told us… “wait, there’s a version with me and Rick. Find that.” One listen you’ll know why she remembered it more than 25 years after it was recorded.

I just love this debut and now that a person doesn't have to spend up to $300 on ebay to get the original cd release, this makes it all worth waiting for. Her next remastered/expanded release will be "Lady T", and a third album of unreleased material- both coming in 2006, so wait for them because she would want you to.
