Roberta Flack - BBC In Concert, City Hall, Sheffield, Britain, 10-22-1984

When it comes to soul music, I much prefer the music of the 1960s and 70s to that of the 1980s. Disco killed the career momentum of practically all the soul music acts I like, and then the rise of drum machines, synths, and overproduction ruined tons of 1980s soul records. Luckily, this 1984 Roberta Flack is largely free of those problems. Yeah, it can sound a little slick at times, but mostly it's strong songs sung with an excellent voice.

The sound quality is top notch, as you'd expect from a BBC concert. I didn't have to make any changes. Everything here is unreleased.

This seems to be kind of an odd time for a Robert Flack concert. She didn't put out a new studio album in 1984. Her most recent one at the time, in 1983, was a duet album with Peabo Bryson, which she supported by going on tour with him. She wouldn't put out another studio album until 1988. My guess is she did have a greatest hits album that came out in 1984, so maybe she was supporting that. Or maybe she was just touring without any new material. This didn't contain any songs from her album with Bryson, and only one song from the album before that.

This album is 51 minutes long.

I don't know anything about the cover photo except it's probably from 1984.
