Collection: Erykah Badu Vinyl Records

Erykah Badu's catalogue defines neo-soul as fully as any single artist's. Baduizm arrived in 1997 with a vocal style that owed equally to Billie Holiday, hip-hop phrasing and Southern church traditions, and the records that followed pushed further into experimental, head-nodding, sample-led territory — particularly through her collaborations with the Soulquarians and the late J Dilla.

The records are built for unhurried listening on a good system. The bass mixes alone are reason enough to pursue the vinyl pressings.
