Come To My Garden
Product ID: 49993750
Product Description As recalled by David Rensin in Rolling Stone, the day Minnie Ripperton met Stevie Wonder and he realised who she was, he began jumping around "Oh my God! Is this a dream? I must be in Heaven. You're an angel. Your music is fantastic. I've gone through three of your 'Come To My Garden' albums, where can I get another?". Featuring some great musicians (Ramsey Lewis, Phil Upchurch, Cleveland Eaton among others) Minnie's 'Come to My Garden' is a long-lost gem, now considered a masterpiece by music critics and many others in the music industry.

Pressing is awful…..
The music is great but oh the pressing is much to be desired. In places the stylus seems as if it’s trawling through grains of sand.I’ve cleaned it three times now and no improvement. Tomorrow the albums goes on a trip to a friends house whereby he will electronically clean it….if no difference then it will be returned….

two copies, both badly warped
Im very disappointed with this record, my record was badly warped, convex one side concave the other. I sent it back and recieved another one, this also has the same problem. Because it was advertised as 180g I thought it would be a quality release, I suggest not worrying about producing coloured vinyl rather focus on a flat pressing. Not good

Beautiful album, poor pressing.
Yet again, I'm let down by a poor pressing!!.Wonderful record, that is near impossible to find an original pressing of, so....when this availed itself, I jumped on the opportunity to purchase.Why oh why can't records be pressed reasonably well these days? We're being asked to pay enough.If the disc pressing isn't bad enough, the plants can't even be arsed to put the record in a polylined inner..how much would that cost..pennies that's what!...aaagghhhhh! .

Her Masterpiece!
Ethereal. Whenever I need to be lifted from a funk or simply want to close my eyes and zone out to a perfect album, I play this. She may have had more commercial success with other albums, but the gorgeous, layered instrumentation on this one best compliments her vocal abilities. This is one of the five albums to know me by. I've owned this album on CD, but it's obviously a heightened experience on vinyl. The pretty green color is a bonus!

Maravillosa Minnie
The media could not be loaded. Aunque en un principio este disco podría tener unas características que no son muy de mi gusto, muchos arreglos de cuerdas, coros, etc, la verdad es que me encanta, no me canso de oirlo y en estos momentos lo prefiero a Perfect Angel. Gran disco que aunque en su lanzamiento allá por 1970 fue un frcaso comercial cada vez es más apreciado, estupendo.

Come To My Garden (Coloured Vinyl Remastered Edition)
Very glad with this remaster. It's remade in great quality and comes in coloured vinyl.I highly recommend this release for any fan of the wonderful Minnie Riperton.

Elegant album
The first song, Les Fleurs, now famous by commercials and a movie, was lost in time, but so glad it was found. The rest of the album is like a Burt Bacharach album at his best, with the added quality of an extraordinary singer in Minnie Riperton and drumming by Maurice White (yes! from Earth Wind and Fire). It is a must have album.
