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 Staple Singers, The Swing Low Soul / Funk | Mississippi Records | 1LP Released 14th April 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Staple Singers, The Swing Low £17.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Mississippi Records SKU: MRP078LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th April 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steve Cropper With A Little Help From My Friends Soul / Funk | Omnivore Recordings | 1LP Released 6th October 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Cropper With A Little Help From My Friends £20.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Omnivore Recordings SKU: 0810075113365 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steve Arrington Down to the Lowest Terms Soul / Funk | Stones Throw | 2LP Released 5th March 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Arrington Down to the Lowest Terms £22.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Stones Throw SKU: STH2418LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 5th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sly & The Family Stone There’s a Riot Goin’ On: 50th Anniversary Soul / Funk | Sony Legacy | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th December 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sly & The Family Stone There’s a Riot Goin’ On: 50th Anniversary £23.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Sony Legacy SKU: 19439904351 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Arlo Parks My Soft Machine Rock And Pop | Transgressive | 180g, 1LP, Box Set, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 26th May 2023 £22.00 - £54.00 Select options Arlo Parks My Soft Machine £22.00 - £54.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Transgressive Formats: 180g, 1LP, Box Set, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th May 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Ike & Tina Turner Don’t Play Me Cheap Soul / Funk | Rumble Records | 1LP Released 20th July 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ike & Tina Turner Don’t Play Me Cheap £16.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Rumble Records SKU: RUM2011100LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th July 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Marvin Gaye That Stubborn Kinda Fellow Soul / Funk | Rumble Records | 1LP Released 25th March 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Marvin Gaye That Stubborn Kinda Fellow £16.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Rumble Records SKU: RUM2011061LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bastien Keb The Killing of Eugene Peeps Soul / Funk | Gearbox | 1LP Coloured Vinyl Released 9th October 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bastien Keb The Killing of Eugene Peeps £22.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Gearbox Released Date: 9th October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View James Brown Slaughters Big Rip-Off (Original Soundtrack) Soul / Funk | UMC | 1LP Released 10th May 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders James Brown Slaughters Big Rip-Off (Original Soundtrack) £20.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: UMC SKU: 6771765 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kwabs Love + War Rock And Pop | Atlantic | 180g, 1LP Released 11th September 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kwabs Love + War £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Atlantic SKU: 0825646137213 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Soul / Funk Start again
