Rhythm Nation 1814 — 1989

An ambitious, socially conscious pop-funk blockbuster of immaculate production. Tight and influential. Her peak. Not their most famous record, but one of their most consistent.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes.
