Love and Politics 5 Jan 2012
By Graham Chapman TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:MP3 Download
Three albums from Gil's 'middle period' (is that a fair description?). For someone new to Gil Scott-heron, I would recommend starting with his earlier albums. There are very good songs in these three albums and the package is very good value for money, but he also made better albums too. However, I don't want to put people off, particularly those who like Gil. These are must-have albums.

Songs of love and politics, the pick of them for me would be:

Not Needed
Your Daddy Loves You (an interesting re-working)
Is That Jazz?
Morning Thoughts (a great mix of love and politics, in fact, and a dreamy start to any new day)
Blue Collar ('You can't name where I ain't been down' - great line!)

4 stars by GSH's standards. 5 stars by general standards. The man was an artist, up there in musical stature with his own heroes, if you ask me. RIP Gil.

Saw there was no track listing on this 3CD set.
Most others in the series are 5 CD sets.
Thought the listing would help people.

I agree with my fellow reviewers it's actually cheaper to buy the CDs than pay to download them!
That internet thingy must be getting expensive have they thought of outsourcing it to India!!

Track listing
1. The Train From Washington
2. Not Needed
3. Waiting For The Axe To Fall
4. Combinations
5. A Legend In His Own Mind
6. You Could Be My Brother

8. Your Daddy Loves You (For Gia Louise)

1. Storm Music
2. Grandma's Hands
3. Is That Jazz
4. Morning Thoughts
5. Inner City Blues
6. Gun
7. B Movie

1. Fast Lane

Format:Audio CD
This collection contains 3 albums stored in cardboard sleeves. It is a great collection of Gil Scott-Heron and a good introduction to those not familiar with his work.

Buying the album was cheaper than downloading it - go figure that one!!
