Curtis Mayfield * Curtis (Rhino Reserve) [LP] [RSD Black Friday 2025]

Celebrate the 55th Anniversary of this instant classic, Curtis Mayfield's 1970 self-titled debut album. Released on the artist's own imprint, Curtom Records, the album spent five consecutive weeks atop Billboard Soul Charts on the strength of soaring anthems like “Move On Up” and sultry ballads like “The Makings Of You”. Newly repackaged for RSD Black Friday, it’s been cut from the original tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and is pressed locally on 180g premium-quality vinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing's brand new plant in Oxnard, California as part of Rhino's premium audiophile line, Rhino Reserve.
