A widescreen breakthrough of narrative R&B, from the sprawling 'Pyramids' to the tender 'Thinkin Bout You'. Warm, literate and assured. The album that made him a star. Their best-placed record on our lists, and a genuine essential.
On vinyl: A vinyl-revival-era release, so fresh pressings are usually easy to find new.
