Take It Off is the fifth studio album by American band Chic. It was released on Atlantic Records in November 16, 1981. It includes the single "Stage Fright", which reached number 35 on the US R&B chart, but was the first Chic single failing to enter the US Pop charts, and this album only proved to be moderately successful as well, stalling at number 124 on the US albums chart and number 36 on the R&B chart.
Take It Off was one of three albums written and produced by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers in 1981, the other two being Blondie lead singer Debbie Harry's debut solo album Koo Koo and Johnny Mathis' I Love My Lady.
Take It Off was transferred to CD and re-released by Atlantic Records/Warner Music in 1991. It was digitally remastered and reissued by Wounded Bird Records in 2006.




Reception



Writing in The Boston Phoenix, Milo Miles said that the album "marks the welcome return of Chic as a team. ... In a period of black music dominated by sporadic upheavals of singles from the underground and cautiously bland albums from the mainstream, Take It Off stands out as a collection of 10 distinct cuts that hang together with formidable consistency."
