Inspiration Information / Wings of Love

Brand new double deluxe Legacy reissue comprising the original 1974 Inspiration Informational release in full, with 4 additional and previously unreleased bonus tracks. Wings Of Love is the other album, containing 14 previously unreleased tracks recorded between 1974-2000. Like Stevie Wonder and Allen Toussaint before him - and Prince and D'angelo afterward - Shuggie Otis was a musical visionary whose early 1970s recordings showed he could do it all, writing, arranging, performing, and producing some of the decade's most satisfying, innovative, and, unfortunately, overlooked music. 1974's Inspiration Information album was a soulful song cycle that took three years to create and was worth every minute - ranges from early drum machine-driven experiments like xl-30 and aht uh mi hed (note the Sly Stone spelling influence) to Otis's most stunning pop confection ever, Strawberry Letter 23.
