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 Carrtoons Saturday Night Soul / Funk | Wichita | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th October 2023 £24.00 - £25.00 Select options Carrtoons Saturday Night £24.00 - £25.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Wichita Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th October 2023 Read More Select options Nearly New View Product Quick View Distance, The Under The One Sky Rock And Pop | Reprise | 1LP Released 20th July 2022 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Distance, The Under The One Sky £8.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Reprise SKU: nn246417 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th July 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Aretha Franklin The Electrifying Aretha Franklin/A Bit Of Soul Soul / Funk | Music On Vinyl | 3LP Released 19th May 2011 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Aretha Franklin The Electrifying Aretha Franklin/A Bit Of Soul £34.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP294 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 19th May 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Blackbyrds, The Better Days Jazz | Fantasy | 1LP Released 14th March 2024 £16.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Blackbyrds, The Better Days £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Fantasy SKU: nn282715 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Various Artists Rhythm Showcase Vol. 1 Soul / Funk | Daptone | 1LP Released 7th February 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Rhythm Showcase Vol. 1 £19.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Daptone SKU: DAP-058S Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wilson Pickett The Best Of Wilson Pickett Soul / Funk | Friday Music | 180g, 1LP Released 2nd May 2011 £39.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wilson Pickett The Best Of Wilson Pickett £39.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Friday Music SKU: AFRM218151 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 2nd May 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sweetback Sweetback Soul / Funk | Sony Music | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 28th October 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sweetback Sweetback £21.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Sony Music SKU: 88985347581 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 28th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Summer Walker Over It Soul / Funk | Polydor | 1LP Released 10th January 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Summer Walker Over It £18.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Polydor SKU: 837796 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th January 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Funkadelic Uncle Jam Wants You Soul / Funk | Charly | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 20th January 2023 £23.00 - £28.00 Select options Funkadelic Uncle Jam Wants You £23.00 - £28.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Charly Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 20th January 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View India Arie Voyage To India Soul / Funk | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 16th March 2015 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders India Arie Voyage To India £21.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1319 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Soul / Funk Start again
