Description: FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION. ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN 2011 AND HAS BEEN IN STORAGE SINCE! Teena Marie was a singular and beloved voice in contemporary music, whose legacy continues to shine after her unfortunate passing in December 2010. She released four albums for Motown between 1978-1981. But for the last several years two of them, Lady T and Irons In The Fire, were no longer in print. Tee, before her untimely death, had requested those 1980 albums be remastered and made available to her fans, along with vault tracks we might find. Irons In The Fire, her third album, is the second of our two 2011 reissues. Her first self-production, the album was a top 10 Urban and top 40 Pop smash led by the hit "I Need Your Lovin'," as well as key album tracks, from the hard-hitting "First Class Love" to the jazzy "You Make Love Like Springtime." For this reissue, the "reprise" version of the latter song is two minutes longer than any previous releases, with extra Teena ad-libs - a great find for fans. This reissue also adds Teena's complete set from a July 1981 concert at Long Beach Arena in southern California. Her full show, backed by James' Stone City Band, has been newly mixed and freshly edited from the original reels using vintage analog gear, with the live "I Need Your Lovin'" being issued for the first time and with Teena's show in proper sequence also for the first time. In addition to an essay by Brian Chin, the CD booklet reproduces the original artwork and the lyrics from the original LP sleeve, adding previously unreleased photographs and detailed track annotations.1I Need Your Lovin'2Young Love3First Class Love4Irons In The Fire5Chains6You Make Love Like Springtime7Tune In Tomorrow8You Make Love Like Springtime (Reprise) BONUS TRACKS9I'm A Sucker For Your Love (Live)10I Need Your Lovin' (Live)11Someday We'll Be Free (Live)12Déjà Vu (Live)13Square Biz (Live)
