Sweet Exorcist is the fifth studio album by Curtis Mayfield, released in May 1974.

[6] Art Kass, co-founder of Buddah Records, announced Sweet Exorcist in the April 13, 1974 issue of Cashbox magazine.

Sweet Exorcist is a deeply lyrical album and, at the same time, its rhythms and themes capture our times as only Curtis could do," Art Kass said at a press conference.

[7] The original vinyl release cover, designed by Bill Ronalds, shows men like Greek gods holding planets in the middle of a sea of human skeletons.

[8] The title of the album Sweet Exorcist is prominently displayed in capital letters.
