Curtis Mayfield - Curtis / Live! 2x 180g Vinyl LP (MOVLP1300)
Curtis/Live! is Curtis Mayfield’s first live album, after leaving The Impressions. Originally released in May1971, the album's 16 tracks — along with Mayfield's interstitial raps on the politics of the day — were recorded at Paul Colby's 230 seater Bitter End nightclub in New York City. According to John Abbey, who at the beginning of the 1970s was editor of the UK magazine Blues & Soul, Mayfield and his band's first set at a Bitter End date in January 1971 comprised the bulk of the music presented here.
