Super Fly — 1972

A socially conscious soundtrack that outshone its film, layering lush strings and funk over unflinching street narratives. 'Freddie's Dead' and the title track are classics. Beautiful and clear-eyed. A later chapter in Curtis Mayfield's catalogue, and still one of the best.

On vinyl: A heavily reissued catalogue — read the remaster reviews before committing to a pressing.
