Minnie Riperton - Adventures in Paradise 

Someone asked me yesterday what I thought objectively were the top 3 greatest albums of all time. I'm not particularly good with those sorts of lists but I made my humble contribution. 
What I find more interesting are people's favourite albums which led me to think about mine. 

Adventures in Paradise is one of them. 

Minnie has a become a bit of a cult classic now. With funky bass lines and dreamy Minnie vibes, this album is the perfect sunny Sunday morning record or a late night kitchen dance. Both great options. 

I have two copies. One I found in a $5 bin - it sounds like $5 and this one which I got for $20 at a fair. It has a Brashes price tag which was a blast from the past. I use to love going to Brashes as a kid. I always look for copies of this album but I don't find them often and when I do, they are often a tad pricy. 

It's a phenomenal album cover and the inspiration for Doechii's recent album. TIL the infamous lion story. Simba on the cover was apparently quite a chill lion. Minnie agreed to do a live promotional video recreation of the cover if they brought back Simba. But they didn't use Simba. As she went to sit down, the lion sniffed her arm and then lunged up at her. I watched the footage this afternoon. Oof. 

I enjoyed this so much I span it again when I got home.
