Rapture arrived on July 4 in the series' first wave, alongside The Afghan Whigs' Gentlemen, Grover Washington Jr.'s Winelight and Keith Sweat's self-titled debut. The run placed twenty Elektra titles from four decades with participating brick-and-mortar shops, and the distributor lists this pressing as a retailer exclusive. The label's own notes point out that the album had rarely appeared on vinyl since its first pressing nearly forty years earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRapture was Baker's second album and her first for Elektra. Her former label, Beverly Glen Music, sued to stop any new recordings from coming out; the case was decided in her favor on March 19, 1986, and the record was released the following day. Michael J. Powell, her bandmate from Chapter 8, produced seven of the eight songs, Marti Sharron and Gary Skardina produced \"No One in the World,\" and Bernie Grundman mastered the original release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 and No. 13 on the UK Albums Chart, won Baker two Grammy Awards and has sold more than eight million copies worldwide. \"Sweet Love,\" written by Baker with Louis A. Johnson and Gary Bias, was the first single in May 1986; it reached No. 8 on the Hot 100 and won the Grammy for Best R\u0026amp;B Song. \"Caught Up in the Rapture\" followed that October. Rolling Stone placed Rapture at No. 404 on its 2020 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Bring Me Joy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaught Up in the Rapture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeen So Long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMystery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo One in the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame Ole Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatch Your Step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 081227811778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elektra \/ Wea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.4.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elektra \/ Wea","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48229923422366,"sku":"EVP-7EC031A9-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/ANITA_BAKER_-_RAPTURE_-_VINYL_LP.jpg?v=1791178341","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/anita-baker-rapture-elektra-75","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
