More than just a soundtrack, Superfly (1972) is Curtis Mayfield at his most cinematic, socially conscious, and sonically smooth. Blending deep funk grooves with sharp political commentary, this album elevated the blaxploitation genre and became a cornerstone of 1970s soul.

With iconic tracks like “Freddie’s Dead” and the unstoppable “Superfly,” Mayfield flips the script—challenging the glamorized crime narrative of the film with lyrics full of grit, empathy, and hard truth. The arrangements are lush, the basslines addictive, and Curtis’s falsetto? Pure gold.

This 180-gram vinyl edition brings out all the rich detail in the production—from the wah-wah guitars to the sweeping strings—making it a must-have for audiophiles, soul lovers, and crate-diggers alike. Superfly isn’t just an album—it’s a cultural landmark.
