This is a double vinyl LP pressing. In the early 1970s, critics hailed Gil Scott - Heron as the most important Black voice after Martin Luther King Jr., comparing him to a black Bob Dylan. The New York Times in 1975 marveled at this angry man from the Bronx, describing his poetry as powerful, humorous, and full of street - talk, often justifiably angry and accurate. Decades later, he was celebrated as the Godfather of Rap. Born in Chicago, the musician, poet, and human - rights activist lived in the Bronx for years. He returned to his black roots and passed away on May 27, 2011, in Harlem. One of his legacies is a fantastic 1983 concert at the Schauburg Theater in Bremen, Germany, recorded by Radio Bremen technicians. This release features a previously unreleased 1983 live recording, a 14 - minute rendition of 'The Bottle' and other fan favorites. It comes as a green colored double vinyl pressing, in a limited edition, and is from the music label MIG 2023.
Using this vinyl record is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently lower the needle onto the groove, and enjoy the rich sound of Gil Scott - Heron's live performance. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints on the record, which could affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. After each use, return the record to its sleeve carefully to protect it from scratches. This is a limited - edition item, so take good care of it to preserve its value and quality for years to come.
