Sade – Stronger Than Pride (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Sade's singular blend of soul, jazz, and quiet storm R&B reached a kind of effortless maturity on this 1988 release, the band locking into a groove that felt both timeless and utterly contemporary. Recorded across three continents, it captures a group at peak creative confidence, with Helen Folasade Adu's voice carrying the emotional weight of every lyric with characteristic restraint and precision.
Stronger Than Pride (1988) is Sade’s third album, featuring the singles “Love Is Stronger
Than Pride”, “Paradise”, “Nothing Can Come Between Us”, “Turn My Back On You”, and
“Haunt Me.” The album was recorded at Compass Point Studios (Bahamas), Studio Miraval
(France), and Studio Marcadet (France). The vinyl audio uses high resolution digital
transfers of the stereo master mixes, from the original studio recordings, remastered at half-
speed at Abbey Road Studios. The elaborate, half-speed mastering process has produced
exceptionally clean and detailed audio whilst remaining faithful to the band’s intended sound.
No additional digital limiting was used in the mastering process, so the album benefits from
the advantage of extra clarity and pure fidelity, preserving the dynamic range of the original
mixes, presented on pure 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl. The original album sleeve and
packaging elements have been meticulously reproduced in exact detail with authentic paper
and printing methods.
