Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time – Rated 404/500! 1987 Grammy Award Winner: Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female: “Rapture” Best Rhythm & Blues Song: “Sweet Love” Rapture, the chart-topping Grammy award winning 1986 sophomore album from iconic songstress Anita Baker, gets a new vinyl reissue as part of the celebration of Elektra Records’ 75th Anniversary. Featuring soulful classics like “Sweet Love” and “Caught Up in the Rapture,” this multi-platinum selling record has rarely appeared on vinyl since its original pressing nearly 40 years ago. To its credit, Elektra made her a major star by focusing on Baker’s strong point romantic but gospel-influenced R&B/pop ballads and ‘slow jams,’ sometimes with jazz overtones and letting her be true to herself. Rapture gave Baker one moving hit after another.-Alex Henderson, AllMusic, 5/5 An album of deep romantic intimacy that sounded like little else in Eighties pop but still went multiplatinum.-Rolling Stone a slow-burning and symphonic piece of quiet storm R&B that floods every sense-Pitchfork Features Limited Edition Brick & Mortar Indie Exclusive Elektra Records 75th Anniversary Vinyl LP Selections Side One: Sweet Love You Bring Me Joy Caught Up In The Rapture Been So Long Side Two: Mystery No One in the World Same Ole Love Watch Your Step
