Minnie Riperton died at the young age of 31, succumbing to cancer. Her beautiful and high ranged voice [[five and a half octave!) would be remembered by many for the power it possessed. It would be her massive hit single, “Lovin’ You” that would put her high on the hit parade. That song originated on her soulful Perfect Angel. After that explosive album, she would release four more, one after her death. Perfect Angel was recorded with Stevie Wonder’s band. On November 10, Capitol Records will reissue Perfect Angel as a 2CD Deluxe Edition. Originally released on Epic Records in 1974, it’s apparent that her last label [[Capitol Records) has acquired the Epic catalog titles [[Perfect Angel, Adventures In Paradise, Stay In Love).

I just plotzed. This is fantastic news! I guess that this release is timed to commemorate her 70th birth anniversary, which is on November 8th. Thanks for the info!

I remember buying this album back in 1975, and then again on cd many years later. This is wonderful news but what material will they use on the expanded edition? I was not aware there was unreleased material left in the vaults. I guess they can use live recordings maybe? I am very intrigued and excited, especially if there is bonus studio material. Thank you so much for the heads up jack020.

I saw Minnie at the Cow Palace when she opened for Stevie Wonder in San Francisco. I bought this album and loved it.

I received this as one of my Christmas gifts as well! The booklet contains wonderful photos and reflections from Minnie’s widower Dick Rudolph. I’ll report back when I have a chance to immerse myself.

Thank you sansradio. I am seriously considering treating myself to this, but would love to know if he extended/alternate versions make it worthwhile. Please digest and report back at your convenience.

Yes,it is certainly worth purchasing.Harry Weinger is the producer of the package.When he does any sort of project he always looks for anything interesting that he can add. The second disc is a great example of great things that happen after the fade. Due to vinyl restrictions and perfection much was reimagined and edited.Richard Rudolph's insights and remembrances would be worth the price had it been a basic reissue.It's wonderful to add to your collection.
