The best of many collaborations between musician and poet Gil Scott-Heron and keyboardist and flautist Brian Jackson. Blues, soul and jazzy vibes in minimalist arrangements form the basis of Scott-Heron’s commentary on the social reality of African-Americans in 1974. The album’s influence on hip-hop and neo-soul was huge. First re-release in almost 20 years, black and white vinyl with inside-out effect, gatefold cover with OBI strip and printed inner sleeve
