Theres plenty of stage-crowdinteraction, with James acknowledging the Atlanta child murders, thekilling of anti-racism activists in Greensboro, NC, and the death of BobMarley, all recent events, yet without bringing down the party.
James, backed by his Stone City Band, PunkFunk Horns, and Mary Jane Band, proficiently delivers everything (evenMary Jane?) with a high level of energy. A dynamite performance, itsworthy of its own artwork and detachment from a catalog series.Technically taken from two Long Beach gigs that went down on July 30 and31, 1981, as Street Songs was the number one R&B album in the U.S.- while opener Teena Marie held up the second spot with It Must BeMagic - the set is rather evenly spread between Street Songs and eachof James earlier albums. Unfortunately, thepackaging masks the significance of the discs content, which amounts tothe lone legitimate Rick James live set. Part of the Rarities Edition series, which Universaldistribution used as a way to spin off the second discs of its DeluxeEdition series, this disc, apart from an informational wraparound strip,looks identical to the original Street Songs. This Rarities Edition brings you that incredible liveshow. The band was hot, Rick was on top of the world, the audiencewent crazy. Just as the album was issued Rick, alongwith Teena Marie, did a mind-bending show in Long Beach, CA to promotethe new LP. Hishits from the album, Give It To Me Baby and Super Freak, were todominate the charts for months. Rick Jamesbuilt on his late 70s/early 80s R&B chart success and pouredeverything he had into Street Songs, his fifth album for Motown. Perfect for collectors who may have missed thedouble disc version or for those who are in search of all the greattracks that were initially exclusive to the Deluxe Edition.
