Oh, Eric, I actually own this record...in red vinyl...bought in
Chicago in the mid-sixties (before we left for Canada). And great it
is. And for those who don't know, Amiri Baraka does a guest spot on
an album recorded by The Roots, called Phrenology. His piece is called
Something in the Way of Things. It's worth a listen. Downloading it
from any file sharing network is legal in Canada. Enjoy.
