PRODUCT DETAILS
Rick James Blends Brazen Attitude, Fearless Sexuality, and Shrewd Charisma on Street Songs: Punk-Funk Album Aims for the Hips and Head, Includes the Timeless Hit 'Super Freak'Sourced from the Original Master Tapes and Strictly Limited to 4,000 Numbered Copies: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g 45RPM 2LP Set Presents 1981 Smash in Audiophile Sound for the First Time'Punk funk' was a relatively unknown concept before 1981. But once Street Songs took the charts by storm that year, the world knew about what became Rick James' signature style. True to it's name, Street Songs blends outspoken sexuality, brazen attitude, and edgy commentary amid contagious arrangements that simultaneously aim for the hips, head, and various nether regions. The Buffalo native and his ensemble waste no time getting their message across. On the album-opening 'Give It to Me Baby,' James and company lay down a mix of sleek funk and pulsing disco that practically activates the bright lights of a night club and stimulates the libido of anyone within earshot.Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents James' platinum effort in audiophile quality for the first time. Playing with crisp dynamics, lively textures, and revealing clarity, this collectible edition of the record that stayed at the No. 1 spot on the R&B Album Charts for 20 weeks invites you to get closer to music that beckons you to turn your space into a dance floor. Then again, you'll likely be so taken by how the taut bass lines, snappy rhythms, and four-on-the-floor beats come across with such presence, you might stay pinned to your seat. Everything from the rubbery feel of the guitar lines to the depth of James' temperature-raising vocals to the scale of the horns emerges as if James and his ace crew set up in your room. Now, prepare to get funky and get down.1/4' / 30 IPS ANALOG MASTER DSD 256 ANALOG CONSOLE LATHENumbered 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LPLIMITED EDITION OF 4,000Track ListSide One:1. Give It to Me Baby2.

By far, my favorite shop to buy from! Always quick with the delivery! Love tyler the creator and I've been searching for this specific vinyl at a good price!
package shipped well. there was a fragile sticker on the box which was nice, most places don’t put that and vinyls get damaged. package arrived in perfect condition.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.
Perfectly packaged, no warping, clear sound. Will definitely purchase from Pale Blue Dot Records again.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
