1996 Neo-Soul Classic on Double LP!
20th Anniversary Pressing on Metallic Gold Vinyl!
In honor of the 20th anniversary of Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite, the artist's game-changing debut album, a special 2-LP collection will be released. Pressed on metallic gold 12" 150-gram vinyl, this LP package comes with an eight-page booklet that includes rare images from the original album and single photo shoots.
The booklet also includes a very special pair of revelatory new essays: 1) an appreciation of Maxwell and his music by noted R&B scholar, music/culture critic, journalist and filmmaker Nelson George; and 2) a behind-the-scenes reminiscence on the making of Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite penned by music industry veteran Mitchell Cohen, who, as Senior Vice President of A&R at Columbia Records, signed Maxwell to the label and helped shepherd the music from raw concept to full realization.
...a sophisticated and stylized take on late-'60s and early-'70 soul....Urban Hang Suite is destined to become a classic contemporary R&B disc.
