Stronger Than Pride (LP)

Stronger Than Pride (1988) is Sades third album, featuring the singles Love Is Stronger Than Pride, Paradise, Nothing Can Come Between Us, Turn My Back On You, and Haunt Me. The album was recorded at Compass Point Studios (Bahamas), Studio Miraval (France), and Studio Marcadet (France). The vinyl audio uses high resolution digital transfers of the stereo master mixes, from the original studio recordings, remastered at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios. The elaborate, half-speed mastering process has produced exceptionally clean and detailed audio whilst remaining faithful to the bands intended sound. No additional digital limiting was used in the mastering process, so the album benefits from the advantage of extra clarity and pure fidelity, preserving the dynamic range of the original mixes, presented on pure 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl. The original album sleeve and packaging elements have been meticulously reproduced in exact detail with authentic paper and printing methods.

Sade’s songs have been heavily sampled from the likes of MF DOOM, Snoop Dogg, Big K.R.I.T, Mobb Deep, and Larry June to name a few.
