BBD’s Landmark Debut Is Presented For Record Store Day
In A Never To Be Repeated Cherry Red Pressing.
Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe first rose to prominence as members of New
Edition. With the group on hiatus in the late 80s, none other than Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
suggested the three branch out on their own, and Bell Biv DeVoe was formed. With a hip hop
swagger the group’s approach turned the tables – with R&B pulling from Hip Hop rather than
the other way around. In fact it was Public Enemy producers Eric Sadler along with Hank
and Keith Shocklee who made significant contributions in helping Bell Biv Devoe craft
their debut album Poison. The title track and full-length both hit number one on Billboard's
R&B/Hip Hop chart, entered the top 5 on both the single and top 200 charts and went on to
be certified Platinum 4 times over.
