Product Details

Released in 1972, Curtis Mayfield's score for the Gordon Parks Jr. film did something radical: it critiqued the very world the movie glamorized, weaving streetwise social commentary into lush, wah-soaked funk that made the soundtrack more politically complex than the film itself. Mayfield wrote, produced, and performed every track, a level of artistic control that was rare then and remains remarkable now.

Superfly is RIAA-certified gold, with million selling singles still popular today. This release features album-length versions of all 9 songs from the film, plus 2 bonus tracks: The smash single edits of "Freddie's Dead" and "Superfly." Mayfield's distinctively soulful sounds are as contemporary today as they were when they first hit the airwaves (Rhino's Superfly Deluxe 25th Anniversary release has sold more than 65,000 units since it's Nov. '97 release at a higher price).
