There are more comprehensive compilations on the market, namely the sublime double-disc Anthology and the flawed but worthwhile box set People Get Ready, but this is the best bet for anyone wanting a concise sampler of Mayfield's groundbreaking funk-soul, since it contains all of the bare-bone essentials: '(Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below, We're All Going to Go,' 'Move on Up,' 'We Got to Have Peace,' 'Freddie's Dead,' 'Superfly,' 'Pusherman,' 'Future Shock,' and 'Kung Fu.' Yes, Mayfield also made cohesive, frequently stunning albums during this era and his work with the Impressions was just as influential, but this disc benefits from its narrow focus, since the end result is a collection ideal for the curious and the novice, while also providing a great listen for anyone who already knows the records.\" - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIDE A\u003cbr\u003e(Don't Worry) If There Is A Hell Below, We're All Going To Go\u003cbr\u003eThe Makings Of You\u003cbr\u003eMove On Up (Extended Version)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIDE B\u003cbr\u003eGet Down\u003cbr\u003eWe Got To Have Peace\u003cbr\u003eFreddie's Dead (Theme From 'Superfly')\u003cbr\u003eSuperfly (Recorded Live by WTTW-TV Chicago)\u003cbr\u003ePusherman\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIDE C\u003cbr\u003eFuture Shock\u003cbr\u003eCan't Say Nothin'\u003cbr\u003eKung Fu\u003cbr\u003eSo In Love\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIDE D\u003cbr\u003eOnly You Babe\u003cbr\u003eDo Do Wap Is Strong In Here\u003cbr\u003eBetween You Baby And Me (with Linda Clifford)\u003cbr\u003eDo Be Down (with Linda Clifford)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-musictabs\" class=\"ui-tabs ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ui-tabs ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mt-1\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aec-jukebox\" class=\"tracksonly\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WARNER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67646968758573,"sku":"CURTIS MAYFIELD 'THE VERY-BEST-OF-CURTIS-MAYFIELD-2LP","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/2910\/4685\/files\/rhilp84196a__28647.1640017481.jpg?v=1792001710","url":"https:\/\/shop.altpress.com\/products\/curtis-mayfield-the-very-best-of-curtis-mayfield-2lp","provider":"Alternative Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
