Home / Soul & R&B / Pieces of a Man
A foundational fusion of soul, jazz and spoken word, home to 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised'. Sharp and influential. A proto-rap landmark. Released in 1971, it's a standout in Gil Scott-Heron's catalogue.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
