Minnie Riperton ORIG OZ LP Adventures in paradise EX ’75 Epic ELPS3725 Soul Funk
Original OZ LP released in 1975 on Epic Records. Cat: LELPS3725. Comes with pirnted lyric inner bag which is in Excellent condition.Adventures in Paradise, the follow-up to Perfect Angel an album featuring Minnie Riperton's biggest hit, much assistance from Stevie Wonder, and several of his associates, as well as an iconic outer sleeve tends to be viewed as a flop, at least by those who disregard Minnie as a novelty one-hit wonder. If the album is a flop on principle because none of its three singles was as big as "Lovin' You," or because Stevie was no longer around, so be it, but it's borderline classic by any other measure. The key collaborators here, outside of Minnie's songwriting husband Richard Rudolph, include keyboardist Joe Sample, guitarist Larry Carlton, saxophonist Tom Scott, and harpist Dorothy Ashby. Hardly poor substitutes. Most importantly, the album's three central songs were co-written with Leon Ware, who had come up with the Jackson 5's "I Wanna Be Where You Are" and was on the brink of writing what would become the entirety of Marvin Gaye's I Want You, along with his own excellent Musical Massage.
Tracks : Baby, This love I have/ Feelin’ that your feeling’s right/ When it comes down to it/ Minnie’s lament/ Love and it’s glory/ Adventures in paradise/ Inside my love/ Alone in Brewster Bay/ Simple things/ Don’t let anyone bring you down.
