It's Nation Time: African Visionary Music / Var

It's Nation Time: African Visionary Music showcases powerful poetry by Imamu Amiri Baraka, a highly - respected writer of his era. The album features an all - star lineup of musicians such as Lonnie Smith, Gary Bartz, James Mtume, Gwendolyn Guthrie, Reggie Workman, and Idris Muhammed. For the first time since 1972, this amazing music is available on vinyl, housed in a Stoughton old - style tip - on jacket. As Jeledi Katibu writes in the liner notes, it represents the new life - sense of African men and women in the West, offering a unique African vision of music and a way of life.

To enjoy this vinyl album, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently remove the vinyl from the Stoughton old - style tip - on jacket by holding the edges to avoid fingerprints. Place it on the turntable and set the needle carefully on the start of the record. As you listen, soak in the powerful poetry and the amazing music from the all - star musicians. After use, clean the vinyl with a soft, anti - static brush to keep it in top shape. Store the album back in its jacket in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent warping.
