When it was released, 1973's BACK TO THE WORLD was considered a commercial disappointment following the crossover pop success of the previous year's SUPERFLY soundtrack. But time has proven the album to be one of Curtis Mayfield's strongest and most cohesive. Inspired by the more overtly political lyrical tack he had taken on hits like "Freddie's Dead," BACK TO THE WORLD is a near-concept album about the perilous state of the world (ecologically, spiritually, and otherwise) circa 1973. Set to Mayfield's brassy, gospel-fueled funk grooves, the album still sounds bracingly direct on this 2006 remaster.
