Review
The term "classic" is tossed about a lot these days, and when it's being used to describe everything from Coke to a Janet Jackson CD, the term is shady. But take my word that the 1972 soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Superfly is a true classic. Why? Because 25 years after its release, the songs still ring true and sound fresh. A morality tale set to funky grooves and plaintive vocals, Superfly is the zenith of Mayfield's socially aware songwriting, recounting the highs and lows of the thug life and the no-win ghetto game of hustling. It's hard to believe, but a doom-filled ode to screwing up ("Freddie's Dead") was actually a big hit during the Nixon years. Truth be told, the record sounds as good, if not better today and should be in everyone's collection. --Amy LindenThe classic original 'Superfly' album coupled with a bonus CD featuring 13 unissued alternate versions & additional tracks, including 'Pusherman', a demo of 'Little Child Runnin' Wild' and an instrumental of 'Freddie's Dead'. NOTE:contains all but one of the tracks from Rhino's 1997 '25th Anniversary Edition' of 'Superfly' (the interview with Mayfield). Double slimline jewel case within a full color slipcase cover. 1998 Charly release. NOTE: slightly different packaging than Rhino's release.
