Gil Scott-Heron - Free Will: AAA Remastered Edition - VINYL LP
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rhythm & Blues
- Description: Released in 1971, Gil Scott-Heron's second album InchPieces Of A ManInch is a stone-cold classic and rightly seen as one of the greatest albums of all time. There is a reason why a full album of songs did not appear as a follow-up. Both producer Bob Thiele and Scott-Heron's writing partner Brian Jackson had been keen to move forward quickly with song-based material, but Scott-Heron saw himself first and foremost as a writer. A new novel, The N***** Factory, would be published in 1972 and he also enrolled for writing seminars at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Once the decision was made to combine poetry and song, sessions were booked for the 2nd and 3rd March 1972. The first session with Bernard 'Pretty' Purdie (drums), Hubert Laws (flute/piccolo), David Spinozza (guitar), Jerry Jemmott (bass) and Brian Jackson (electric and acoustic piano) recorded the songs with Horace Ott taking care of the arrangements. The second session was dedicated to poetry, recorded with Scott-Heron, Jackson, Eddie Knowles and Charlie Sanders from their college group Black & Blues. InchFree WillInch was released in 1972. The song side included the heart-rending Vietnam war commentary of 'Do You Hear What They Said?', the propulsive title track and the beautiful 'The Middle Of Your Day'. The poetry side immerses you in the radical politics of the day via 'No Knock' and 'The King Alfred Plan', and ends with his heartfelt tribute to John Coltrane '... and then he wrote Meditations'. Like InchPieces Of A ManInch it is a classic and a cornerstone of any record collection. When BGP inherited the honour of looking after the Flying Dutchman legacy we discovered that, as well as being almost unparalleled in his discovery of great talent, Bob Thiele also recorded it immaculately.

180 Gram Vinyl Record LP. I Want You is a 1976 album by Marvin Gaye. The album was his first recorded studio material released in three years and marked a change in direction for Gaye, leaving his trademark Motown soul for funky, light-disco soul. Much of Gaye's music encompassed spirituality, sexuality, and vulnerability. With a career spanning over more than a decade, it's no wonder that many of today's artists continue to honor and emulate Gaye. Although no longer a physical presence, his existence as an artist is one that is sure to be a vital part of the millennium and beyond. Album Tracks 1. I Want You [Vocal Version] 2.
