REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE..

A compilation of Gil Scott-Heron's best-known

works for the Flying Dutchman label on CD and

LP.

Originally released to capitalise on the success

of Scott-Heron's then-current hit 'The Bottle'

and his subsequent signing to Arista, this 1974

compilation has since become the definitive

distillation of his early work. Contained within

the original 11-track selection were the title

track, 'Whitey On The Moon', 'Home Is Where

The Hatred Is' plus eight more.

The expanded CD version offers a more

rounded view of Scott-Heron's work with the

addition of nine tracks among them 'When You

Are Who You Are', used in a recent television

commercial, 'I Think I'll Call It Morning' and the

original spoken-word version of 'The

Revolution Will Not Be Televised'. By way of a

bonus, edited versions of several of his poems

are also included.

Replicating the original 11-track running order

and packaged in a heavy duty sleeve, the vinyl

reissue features the original LP's inner

gatefold artwork on the inner bag.
