The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

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, hitey On The Moon’, ome 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 hen You Are Who You Are’, used in a recent television commercial, 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.
