On 22nd April 1996, a relatively unknown Mark Morrison took the world by storm and released his debut album ‘Return Of The Mack’ which was also largely self-produced.
The lead single would go on to become one of the biggest songs of the 90’s topping the charts in the UK, across Europe and hitting number two in the US Billboard Hot 100 the following year going platinum in the US (and staying in the charts for 40 weeks) and then onto double-platinum in the UK.
In celebration of its 25th year, the album will be reissued in coloured vinyl, a 70 track digital deluxe version featuring 40 previously unavailable remixes and rare versions plus the videos for each of his 6 UK Top 40 singles from his debut will be restored and released on his official YouTube channel.
The song. ‘Return of the Mack’ was a phenomenon. Written, recorded and produced by Morrison, he became a global sensation with Larry Flick from Billboard Magazine noting that “...UK crooner Mark Morrison energises a deflated US R&B scene with ‘Return of the Mack’”.
The track launched the album of the same name selling over 3 million copies worldwide and making Morrison the first artist in British pop history to have five Top 10 hits from a debut album. Morrison’s notoriety rapidly grew both in and out of the studio, but the track became the benchmark of UK R&B revitalising the scene and has withstood the test of time with it recently again being rediscovered…
