Neon Pink Transparent Vinyl LP With 20-Page Booklet

This pressing of Betty Davis is cut on neon pink transparent vinyl and issued by Light in the Attic under catalog number LITA 026. The label describes it as an expanded vinyl edition, and the expansion is on paper: a 20-page booklet of rare photographs, lyrics and liner notes in which Danielle Maggio interviews Davis. The vinyl is pressed at Optimal, and the label's notes state that Davis's catalog was remastered from the original tapes.

Maggio, an ethnomusicologist, was a close friend of Davis. Rolling Stone reported that her notes, first published with Light in the Attic's 2023 reissue series, include quotes from Davis's last interview.

Betty Davis was her debut album, released by Just Sunshine Records in 1973 and recorded at Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco. Davis wrote every song. Greg Errico, drummer for Sly and the Family Stone, produced it with a band of Bay Area players that included Larry Graham, Neal Schon, Merl Saunders and Pete Sears, while Sylvester and the Pointer Sisters sang backing vocals.

By then Davis had written songs for the Chambers Brothers and appeared on the cover of Miles Davis's 1968 album Filles de Kilimanjaro; the two were married for about a year. She said in a 2007 interview that "Steppin In Her I. Miller Shoes" was based on the life of her friend Devon Wilson. AllMusic's John Bush called the album "an outstanding funk record," and Miles Davis wrote in his 1990 autobiography, "If Betty were singing today she'd be something like Madonna, something like Prince, only as a woman." Her second album, They Say I'm Different, followed in 1974.
