Erykah Badu - Mama's Gun
For auction is Erykah Badu's 2000 release Mama's Gun. This double LP is a promo copy that was pressed on translucent red vinyl. The corner of the sleeve has been clipped (dog-eared), but that has not affected either the LP or the inner sleeve (see pic). The individual sides have been marked in sharpie (side 1,2,3,4) (see pics). The center labels have minor bubbling from the pressing plant.
Both LPs have recently been professionally cleaned with a VPI record cleaning machine. Minor surface wear places these copies at VG/VG+. These albums have been shelf-stored for over ten years in a smoke-free home and are in fantastic condition.
From Wikipedia:
Mama's Gun is the second studio album by American recording artist Erykah Badu, released November 21, 2000, on Motown Records. Recording sessions for the album took place from 1999 to 2000 at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. A neo soul album, Mama's Gun incorporates funk, soul, and jazz styles.[2] It has confessional lyrics by Badu, which cover themes of insecurity, social issues and personal relationships.[3] The album has been viewed by critics as a female companion to neo soul artist D'Angelo's second album Voodoo (2000), which features a similar musical style and direction.[4][5][6]
The album contains the single "Bag Lady", a top 10 Billboard hit, nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and for Best R&B Song. The song "Didn't Cha Know?" was also nominated for Best R&B Song. The album features substantial contributions from several members of the Soulquarians outfit, of which Badu was a member. It also features guests such as soul singer Betty Wright and trumpeter Roy Hargrove. Mama's Gun was met with great critical success and sold strongly, reaching Platinum two months after its release. Thematically the album explores topics regarding self-esteem, relationship breakdowns, and police brutality, and features a more eclectic sound than its predecessor. Rolling Stone magazine named it amongst its Top 10 Albums of 2000.
