Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

	On How Life Is New Import - MOVLP767 Sealed 2019 Standard Black Vinyl Reissue From Music On Vinyl. "Macy Gray Is Such An Assured, Original Vocalist That It's Hard To Believe On How Life Is Is Her Debut Album. She Recalls A Number Of Other Vocalists, Particularly Jazz Singers Like Billie Holiday And Nina Simone, But She Is Unquestionably From The Post-hip-hop Generation, Which Is Evident Not Just From The Sound Of The Record, But The Style Of Her Songwriting, Which Is Adventurous And Unpredictable. Thankfully, She's Worked With A Producer (Andrew Slater, Who Pulled A Similar Trick With Fiona Apple's Debut, Tidal) That Lets Her Run Wild And Helps Her Find Sounds That Match Her Ideas. That's Not To Say That On How Life Is Is A Perfect Album -- At Times, Gray Attempts More Than She Can Achieve -- But It's Always Captivating, Even During Its Stumbles. And When It Works, It Soars Higher Than Most Contemporary R&B." AMG Review By Stephen Thomas Erelwine. more

	The Id Used - LP - E 85200 2001Original with inner sleeve & "Promotion Only Not For Sale" sticker on back. "The Id" is the second studio album by American singer Macy Gray, produced by Rick Rubin. Following the success of her debut album "On How Life Is," Gray continued to blend elements of R&B, soul, and funk in "The Id." The album features a mix of upbeat tracks and ballads, showcasing her distinctive raspy voice and eclectic style. Collaborations with artists like Erykah Badu and Slick Rick add depth and variety to the record, while standout tracks such as "Sweet Baby" and "Sexual Revolution" capture Gray's unique musical flair and lyrical exploration of themes like love, identity, and empowerment. Critically, "The Id" received mixed reviews, with praise often directed at Gray's vocal performance and the album's production, which incorporates rich instrumentation and diverse influences. Some critics, however, felt that the album's eclectic nature resulted in a lack of cohesion compared to her debut. Commercially, "The Id" achieved moderate success, reaching number 11 on the US Billboard 200 and receiving a gold certification from the RIAA. Despite the varied reception, the album remains a testament to Macy Gray's artistic versatility and willingness to explore different musical landscapes. more
