1	The Very Best of Curtis Mayfield [Rhino] (1996) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield Rhino's The Very Best of Curtis Mayfield is devoted to material the legendary soul man recorded after leaving the Impressions, focusing particularly on his classic songs from the early '70s. There are more comprehensive compilations on the market, namely the sublime double-disc Anthology and the flawed but worthwhile box set People Get Ready, but ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $8.95!
2	The Funk Box (2000) more music like this by Various Artists At four discs and 55 tracks, Hip-O's Funk Box seems to want to be the last word on funk, and while it's a pretty good set, it ends up more representative than definitive of its chosen genre. Virtually all of funk's most important artists are featured, but not always by their most significant singles -- sometimes the collection gets it right, and ... see all copies from $45.64! new only from $61.28!
3	People Get Ready: The Curtis Mayfield Story (1996) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield The focus of this three-CD, 51-song production is on Curtis Mayfield's solo work; much of the first disc is devoted to his most popular work with the Impressions, but the remainder of the compilation surveys his solo output from 1970 to 1990. The Impressions tracks are uniformly excellent, but the Mayfield-only cuts are more problematic. The best ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $43.75!
4	Future Shock (1983) more music like this by Herbie Hancock Herbie Hancock completely overhauled his sound and conquered MTV with his most radical step forward since the sextet days. He brought in Bill Laswell of Material as producer, along with Grand Mixer D.ST on turntables -- and the immediate result was "Rockit," which makes quite a post-industrial metallic racket. Frankly, the whole record is an ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $5.11!
5	In Yo' Face!: The History of Funk, Vol. 2 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists The five-volume In Yo' Face: The History of Funk series was a very welcomed thing when Rhino issued it in 1993 and remained a valuable source over a decade later, boasting one of the best documentations of '70s and early-'80s funk around -- even in the wake of dozens upon dozens of other like-minded sets. That said, In Yo' Face does have its ... see all copies from $4.80!
6	Back to the World (1973) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield Back to the World, the first album Curtis Mayfield recorded and released after hitting number one with the intense inner-city vignette Superfly, returned him to a steady balance of optimism for the future and direct social commentary regarding the problems of his people. The lead single, "Future Shock," was inspired by Alvin Toffler's 1970 book of ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
7	Freddie's Dead & Other Hits (2003) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield There are countless compilations of Curtis Mayfield's post-Impressions material on the market, and although any Mayfield is better than no Mayfield, few of them get the balance exactly right between his lightly funky sociopolitical anthems and his gentle, almost whispered love songs. This brief compilation has a couple of the big statements like ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.87!
8	The Definitive Soul Collection (2006) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield There have been piles of Curtis Mayfield anthologies throughout the years -- some great ones, some decent ones, and many bad ones. This entry in Rhino's Definitive Soul Collection series is one of the best two-disc Mayfield anthologies yet released. Sticking strictly to his solo years (some discs incorporate his years with the Impressions), these ... see all copies from $11.28! new only from $11.28!
9	Super Bad Is Back (1991) more music like this by Various Artists While most people would definitively categorize K-Tel albums as generally super bad, Super Bad Is Back was, and remains, a triumph. K-Tel usually picked the hits of the Barry Manilows and Teena Maries and neatly packaged them for middle America. But within the sleeves of Super Bad Is Back, they not only broke form, they also delivered one of the ... see all copies from $9.34!
10	The Essentials (2002) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield see all copies from $8.94! new only from $9.10!
11 view cover	Got Soul: 1960-1973 (2001) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield / Jerry Butler / The Impressions Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler were briefly close collaborators before separating and establishing separate careers as solo superstars. This 28-track, 77-minute CD makes the most of that association by collecting the best 1960s and early-'70s tracks by Butler, the Impressions, and Mayfield (the solo artist) in one place. It seems petulant to ... see all copies from $26.08! new only from $26.08!
12 view cover	Soul Legacy (2001) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield Curtis Mayfield was an innovator in every facet of the record industry in the 1960s, breaking new ground as a guitarist, singer, songwriter, arranger, producer, and label owner. The four-disc Soul Legacy box collects material from his Curtom imprint, and the many talents of this amazing man are everywhere evident, from his classic early songs with ... see all copies from $48.59! new only from $48.59!
