Description

Originally released in 1986, Rapture is Anita Baker’s breakthrough masterpiece—an elegant fusion of jazz phrasing, R&B warmth, and romantic restraint. This Elektra 75th Anniversary Edition celebrates the album’s legacy with a high-fidelity reissue, available exclusively through indie retailers. Pressed on standard-weight black vinyl, the LP is housed in a classic sleeve with updated mastering that enhances Baker’s rich contralto and the album’s lush instrumentation.

From the Grammy-winning Sweet Love to the timeless Caught Up In The Rapture, Baker’s vocal control and emotional clarity remain unmatched. The production, led by Michael J. Powell, balances intimacy and polish, making this reissue a must-have for soul collectors and audiophiles alike.
