- RELEASE NOTES -

Hotter Than July was Wonder's real follow-up to Songs in the
Key of Life, even if it took him the then-unconscionably
long four years to release it. Wonder had been perhaps the
most accomplished and successful pop artist of the years
1972-1977, but his absence had cooled him off commercially,
and this album demonstrated that, artistically, he was also
past his peak. Individual moments suggested his earlier
triumphs, and Wonder remained a remarkably facile
singer/player/composer, but he had lost his ability to amaze
his listeners. The album's biggest single was "Master
Blaster (Jammin')" (#5 pop, #1 R&B), an adequate but
unremarkable reggae number, but the standout track was
"Happy Birthday," the theme song for the ultimately
successful campaign to make Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s
birthday a national holiday

With more than 6000 releases a year, RNS is by far the
largest, longest-standing, and most successful group on the
MP3 scene.  Boasting the top rippers, sites, and traders
to be found anywhere, RNS is untouched in terms of both
quality and quantity of releases.  Year in and year out,
the biggest releases in the music world are released first
and only by RNS.  RNS is interested in more than just the big
hits, however; we pride ourselves in remaining on the cutting
edge of music from every genre, whether it be hip-hop, R+B,
house, punk, jazz, rock, or classical.

Do you think you have what it takes to be part of Team
RNS?  RNS is always recruiting new hardware suppliers,
pre-release rippers, siteops, and shellbox owners.  If
you believe you have something to offer RNS, please
join #rns on EFnet and speak to a senior.

Warm greetings to RNS's official
external couriers, DECiBEL,

team, ADDC.  Greetings as
well to REV, CMS, and all
other MP3 groups putting
out QUALITY releases.

FAIRLIGHT, CLASS, and SCUM.
