Copy notes: Very close to NM vinyl, in OG shrink with "Lovin' You" hype sticker.

Minnie Riperton’s Perfect Angel stands out as a delicate blend of soul and jazz, with arrangements by Wonderlove and the gentle pulse of Rocky Dijon’s congas adding subtle texture. The album’s signature track, "Lovin' You," showcases Riperton’s extraordinary vocal range in a way that’s become emblematic of her artistry, while songs like "Reasons" and "Perfect Angel" reveal a thoughtful, intimate side of her songwriting. The involvement of producers Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff, known for their innovative engineering, adds a refined polish to this 1974 release on Epic, making it a rewarding listen for anyone drawn to focused, acoustic ensemble settings. This particular vinyl pressing from 1974 offers a genuine slice of that era’s sound. The record presents with a glossy surface and very few minor paper scuffs or faint marks, typical of careful use but not likely to interfere with playback. It’s a straightforward single LP that lets the music speak for itself, without any gimmicks. After all, some angels prefer their edges sharp rather than worn down.
