Get Back Records' Archival release LOVE SONGS VOL. 1 does Curtis Mayfield fans a considerable favor by giving a long overdue CD release to two previously out-of-print Mayfield masterpieces, 1982's LOVE IS THE PLACE and 1983's HONESTY. LOVE IS THE PLACE finds Mayfield revisiting the tender, open-hearted love songs that he mastered as the leader of the Impressions, while HONESTY is distinguished by the presence of "Dirty Laundry", one of Mayfield's finest late-period compositions.
