Gil Scott-Heron

Gil Scott-Heron's ''Pieces Of A Man'' is regarded by some as one of the most important albums in the history of black American music. It was a landmark album with its bold, poetic lyrical content allied to progressive and melodic music, and it saw producer Bob Thiele help Gil and his musical partner Brian Jackson paint the picture they needed to get their message across. The album reached its landmark 50th year in 2021 and so it was decided that this special edition was created to celebrate its incredible sound. The original master tape was taken to Frank Merritt at The Carvery in London, who cut it as a double disc 2 x 45 RPM record, in an all-analogue chain. The original record - especially side two - was long, and serving it up this way allowed the music a greater level of fidelity. Classic and a must have.
