The resultant \"Small Talk at 125th and Lenox\" was recorded before a small live audience and, released in 1970, sat perfectly in a world where the Last Poets had just tasted Top 10 success with their debut LP. \"Small Talk at 125th and Lenox\" opened with a spoken word version of 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' and also featured poems and musical pieces like 'Omen', 'Brother', 'Plastic Pattern People', 'Paint It Black' and 'Everyday' that reflected on the black community and it's condition within America at this time. The starkest of these sharp observational pieces from Scott-Heron was 'Whitey On The Moon', which recounts the US Government spending billions on landing a rocket on the moon at a time when, \"a rat done bit my sister, Nell\". Like it's follow-up - \"Pieces Of A Man\" - \"Small Talk at 125th and Lenox\" is a classic album and we are delighted to serve it up again on vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with the original liner notes. With current \"Big Talk\" of going back to the moon, whilst injustice still prevails for many black people in America, \"Small Talk at 125th and Lenox\" still conveys a message that resonates today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e2 The Revolution Will Not Be Televised\u003cbr\u003e3 Omen\u003cbr\u003e4 Brother\u003cbr\u003e5 Comment # 1\u003cbr\u003e6 Small Talk at 125th \u0026amp; Lenox\u003cbr\u003e7 The Subject Was Faggots\u003cbr\u003e8 Evolution (And Flashback)\u003cbr\u003e9 Plastic Pattern People\u003cbr\u003e10 Whitey on the Moon\u003cbr\u003e11 The Vulture\u003cbr\u003e12 Enough\u003cbr\u003e13 Paint It Black\u003cbr\u003e14 Who'll Pay Reparations on My Soul?\u003cbr\u003e15 Everyday\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59548296085585,"sku":"029667014915","price":9.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/5778\/3889\/files\/4166158-2926464.jpg?v=1779349991","url":"https:\/\/c09u90-kd.myshopify.com\/products\/gil-scott-heron-small-talk-at-125th-lenox-import-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
