UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC RECORDS
Universal Republic Records has teamed up with Fat Beats Records to reissue How Do You Do in a stunning 7” vinyl box set
featuring the entire album and it’s previously unreleased instrumentals. Housed in a hard case “black on black” box set, this
collection features 12 pieces of 7” wax in 12 picture jackets, along with a custom plastic display sheet which holds each of the 12
sleeves which make up a 4 x 3 collective wall mosaic. Strictly limited to 2013 hand-numbered copies.
Includes The Walk 7” which any self-respecting Modern Soul DJ should be playing, as we speak :-)
Album Notes
When your debut album is released on the taste-making underground label Stones Throw and declared fantastic by both JohnMayer and Kanye West, you're unbelievably cool and completely under the microscope. Such is the story of Mayer Hawthorne, the
Ann Arbor, Michigan resident who early on did a lot of hip-hop things and such, but for the purposes of his second album and
debut for the major label Universal, he's the neo-soul singer with a gifted voice who uncannily sounds like a `60s-era Temptation
given the 2011 ability to drop an F-bomb. That may sound like Cee Lo Green, and there's no doubt that How Do You Do stands in
the shadow the Goodie Mob member who got there first, but this particular bespectacled singer looks like a Wall Street intern,
making his Motown jones all the more unexpected, and for some, suspect. On top of it, he retains a crate-crawling nerd's love of
nostalgic soul that's very Stones Throw, so expect some overly authentic numbers where the adherence to an aesthetic is an
arguable obstacle. That said, it's a testament to Hawthorne's songwriting ability that this wall is easily scaled after one or two
listens, and that the man sounds more natural and loose than on his debut might be this album's greatest asset, making the vulgar
drops and other nods to the present feel less mannered than before. New avenues are explored as Snoop Dogg is invited to croon,
not rap, on the almost Timberlake "Can't Stop," while the jaunty, finger-popping "Dreaming" offers a well-written, surreal vision
of the world coming to an end, challenging stuff and well executed within Hawthorne's retro rules as well. When you add "The
Walk" as his greatest songwriting achievement to date, a loving anthem for Detroit called "A Long Time," plus a bunch of crowd-
pleasing moves that come straight out of the Hitsville USA rule book, it's easy to stop being befuddled by Hawthorne's love letter
to the past and start craving it. ~ David Jeffries

RECORD GRADING SYSTEM I USE
(BASED ON RECORD COLLECTORS MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEM)
MINT (M): Record/CD: Will be in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
Cover, contents and labels: As new or almost as new
MINT-- (M-) : Record/CD: Shows a few signs of having been played, but there is no lessening in sound quality, plays like a Mint copy. Cover, contents and labels: might have some very slight wear and/or creasing.EXCELLENT+ (EX+): Condition in between M- and EX, better than EX but not quite good enough to be classed as M-. Will play extremely well with no background noise, clicks etc.
EXCELLENT (EX) : Record/CD: Has obviously been played quite a number of times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite some surface marks and the odd very light scratch or sleeve scuff mark. Cover, contents and labels: Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items without any major defects is acceptable. VERY GOOD (VG) : Record/CD: Has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion, clicks and scratches. OK till you can get a better copy! I sell very few VG records and when I do the price reflects their condition ie. They're cheap and cheerful! Cover, contents and labels: May suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.
