GIL SCOTT-HERON/BRIAN JACKSON/MIDNIGHT BAND The First Minute Of A New Day LP VG

Description: Full-length LP from Gil Scott Heron And Brian Jackson/Midnight Band titled "The First Minute Of A New Day" released by Arista (A 4030) in 1975. Gil Scott-Heron's second collaborative effort with Brian Jackson backed by the 8-piece Midnight Band is a bit more polished than the previous effort but not overly so. Scott-Heron's singing has never been slick (and that's a good thing). It's always been about his poetic lyrics and social/political commentary. The instrumental backing is superb jazz-funk/soul-jazz with a warm live sound and loose jam feel. Unique stuff for sure! The vinyl record has very nice luster with no scratches and just a few light sleeve stains but the record plays with very noticeable surface crackle and stray clicks and pops (maybe a pressing issue?). I was still able to enjoy the record but may be too noisy for some.
