B-Movie Matinee is the second solo studio album by American R&B guitarist and producer Nile Rodgers. As with his first album, it failed to make the Billboard 200 (its highest position bubbled under at No. 206[2]). The single "Let's Go Out Tonight" remains Rodgers' only solo single to make the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 88.[3] Both "Let's Go Out Tonight" and "State Your Mind" had promotional videos made for their single releases.
Cover artwork
The album features a 3D cover, designed by Mick Haggerty. Both the original vinyl release and the CD released in 2001 were sold with a small pair of 3D glasses with which to view it.
