Vinyl Edition of Neo-Soul Icon’s 1996 Debut Complete with 8-Page Booklet & New Essays from Nelson George & Mitchell Cohen! Maxwell, an iconic singer-songwriter-performer, began redefining classic soul music for a new generation with the release of his critically-acclaimed debut on Columbia Records in April 1996. Fueled in part by the RIAA gold single, “Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder),” and other hits including “Sumthin’ Sumthin'” and the classic “Whenever Wherever Whatever,” Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite picked up a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album and went on to achieve US double platinum status in 2002. In honor of the 20th anniversary of Maxwell’s game-changing debut, a special 2LP collection will be released in October 2016. Pressed on metallic gold 12″ vinyl, this LP package comes with an 8-page booklet that includes rare images from the original album and single photo shoots. The booklet also includes a very special pair of revelatory new essays: 1) an appreciation of Maxwell and his music by noted R&B scholar, music/culture critic, journalist and filmmaker Nelson George; and 2) a behind-the-scenes reminiscence on the making of Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite penned by music industry veteran Mitchell Cohen, who, as Senior Vice President of A&R at Columbia Records, signed Maxwell to the label and helped shepherd the music from raw concept to full realization. Nelson George calls Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite, “a musical landmark that began the career of one of pop music’s finest voices,” while Mitchell Cohen still marvels at the first time he heard Maxwell’s music on an embryonic demo tape: “…it got under my skin; I heard echoes of music that I’d grown up with and loved, early Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye, some of the great R&B and doo wop singers like Clyde McPhatter, Pookie Hudson and Lee Andrews. And the mu-sic was slinky and sexy. It made unexpected twists, had a seductive pulse. The tape said ‘Max-well’s Urban Hang Suite,’ and I had no idea who this Maxwell was, but I thought I should find out.” Artist Maxwell Genre Soul / Funk Label Sony Music Buying Options 2LP Format 2LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings LP1 The Urban Welcome Sumthin' Sumthin' Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder) Dancewitme ...Til the Cops Come Knockin' LP2 Whenever Wherever Whatever Lonely's the Only Company (I & II) Reunion Suitelady (The Proposal Jam) The Suite Theme Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Maxwell and more from Soul / Funk View Product Quick View Maxwell Blacksummer’s Night Soul / Funk | Sony Music | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th October 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Maxwell Blacksummer’s Night £19.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Sony Music SKU: 88985317611 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Filthy Six, The More Filth Soul / Funk | Acid Jazz | 1LP Released 18th March 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Filthy Six, The More Filth £17.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Acid Jazz SKU: AJXLP378 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Winstons, The Color Him Father Soul / Funk | Soul Jazz | 1LP, Includes 12" Released 25th February 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Winstons, The Color Him Father £25.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Soul Jazz SKU: SJRLP497 Formats: 1LP, Includes 12" Released Date: 25th February 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gil Scott Heron Free Will Soul / Funk | BGP | 1LP Released 22nd May 2020 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gil Scott Heron Free Will £23.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: BGP SKU: ACEHIQLP023 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jacksons, The Goin’ Places Soul / Funk | Sony Music | 1LP Released 22nd February 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jacksons, The Goin’ Places £19.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Sony Music SKU: 19075807501 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Luther Vandross Luther Soul / Funk | Sony | 1LP Released 19th April 2024 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Luther Vandross Luther £23.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Sony SKU: 19658880951 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Listen, Whitey!
