Up for sale is a genuine US Original 1st Pressing Vinyl LP of the historic 1979 soul/funk debut masterpiece "Wild And Peaceful" by the legendary vocal powerhouse Teena Marie, released on Motown's sub-label Gordy Records (Cat# G7-986 R1).
This landmark album stands as one of the absolute pillars of late-70s urban dance and soul music, launching Lady T's legendary career into superstardom. Masterfully produced and mostly written by the king of punk-funk himself—Rick James—alongside Art Stewart, this legendary LP features her definitive smash breakthrough duet "I'm A Sucker For Your Love"! It also packs the heavy street-soul grooves "Turnin' Me On", "De Ja Vu (I've Been Here Before)", and the smooth cover of "Don't Look Back".
