LaBelle's 1973 classic Pressure Cookin' finally getting its due



Pressure Cookin', Labelle's only album for RCA, finally makes its worldwide CD debut, some 36 years after its initial release. Way ahead of its time, it set the scene for Labelle's pop breakthrough a few years later with their smash hit Lady Marmalade. Pressure Cookin' features nine compositions, many by group member Nona Hendryx, who has been actively involved with this reissue project, along with producer and Labelle manager Vicki Wickham. Stevie Wonder writes and co-produces one track, identified as 'friend' due to his contractual position at the time. 16 page color booklet features extensive essay by A. Scott Galloway, and draws on new interviews with group members and others involved in this project. http://www.amazon.com/Pre...35S1PN73JW
