Album Review

The U.K. label Stateside should be commended for putting Minnie Riperton's second through fifth solo albums back into circulation. Despite a number of representative compilations, Riperton's full-length studio recordings should not be forgotten. This 2004 release pairs 1974's Perfect Angel with the following year's Adventures in Paradise — two albums that brought the singer her most popular success.

These albums deserve to stand alone and not fall victim to the ugly packaging that comes with most two-in-one releases.
