Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

A fierce civil-rights jazz statement of protest and power. Urgent and historic. A landmark record. The single record that earns them a spot in the catalogue.

On vinyl: First pressings command high prices; a quality reissue will often sound better anyway.
