In one of those instances where the soundtrack eclipses the film, Curtis Mayfield’s Superfly stands tall as a career highlight from one of soul’s all-time greatest. The blaxploitation film itself was solid, but the songs Mayfield wrote for it are pure perfection – an acerbic portrayal of street life in urban America that views its players with heart and understanding, a truly wise rumination on cause and effect set to some of the most transcendent funk playing imaginable. As well as the original album, this special double-disc edition features single mixes, instrumentals and alternate takes from the sessions, deepening the legend of this seminal work. – Juno
