Straight From The Heart (remastered) vinyl

By the time Patrice Rushen released Straight From The Heart in 1982, she was undoubtedly at the top of her game. The set remains one of the finest albums of the post-disco/boogie era, offering an enticing mix of genuine club classics (see 'Forget Me Nots', which was later heavily sampled by Will Smith on 'Men in Black', 'Number One', 'Breakout' and 'I'm Tired of Being Alone') and overlooked slow hams ('Where There Is Love', 'If Only' and the seductive 'Remind Me'). This expanded, double vinyl edition of the album is probably the definitive version, featuring as it does extended 12" versions of the set's most revered moments, not to mention a louder, more DJ-friendly cut.
