Sean Price’s ‘Songs In The Key Of Price’ Pulled Due To Artwork Copyright Infringement

Sean Price’s mixtape, to be released posthumously, reworked Stevie Wonder’s iconic Songs in the Key of Life

In a statement to Birthplace Magazine, Duck Down Music announced that the artwork for Sean Price’s posthumous Songs In The Key Of Price has been removed from all current and future iterations of the project, as per a legal request from Universal Music. The artwork for the mixtape, which contained 8 songs digitally but thirty on the physical copy, was a reworking of Stevie Wonder’s iconic album cover art for Songs in the Key of Life.

Aside from the tragic circumstances leading up to the release, and the fact that these were already a limited edition, those who purchased the physical version from the original pressing are now owners of an accidental collector’s item.

Songs in the Key of Price will continue to be sold online, with additional pressings to be produced, with new artwork.

Ironically, Stevie Wonder is in the midst of a tour, performing his classic album in its entirety. The legendary artist recently surprised New Yorkers with a free, pop-up show at Central Park.

A fundraiser set up by Duck Down Music continues to raise money for Price’s family. Donations can be made at www.crowdrise.com/seanp.

Additionally, music and other merchandise, including Songs in the Key of Price, can be purchased at www.duckdown.com
