Live In Europe was recorded during Mayfield’s ten country European tour during the summer of 1987 and features triumphant versions of ‘Freddie's Dead’, ‘We've Gotta Have Peace’ and ‘Move On Up’.
Curtis Mayfield is one of the most important and highly regarded names in soul and funk music.

By the time he made his solo debut in 1970 he had already achieved far more than most artists can manage in a lifetime. He had already enjoyed a string of hits as lead singer of The Impressions, for whom he was the principal songwriter, had produced successful recordings for other artists, and was owner of his own record label, in addition to several publishing companies.

The solo albums he recorded between 1970 up until the time of his tragic accident in 1990 and which were released on his own record label, Curtom Records, remain as testament to his genius.
