This is tasty.
Soul Sides previews the forthcoming reissue of some classic 1968 vinyl, Black & Beautiful, Soul & Madness by Spirit House Movers which features LeRoi Jones (aka poet Amiri Baraka). check it out the sample here. if you can't wait, head over to the excellent[see comments] Nothing Is for the entire album, plus a couple more from the same provenance.
I've also found also some brilliant related footage of the Leroi Jones Young Spirit House Movers and Players, an amazing performance by a group of kids at the height of the black awareness/power era. originally broadcast on a show called Inside Bedford-Stuyvesant, it was put up earlier this year at thirteen.org in the Broadcasting While Black section.
Anyone got any more info or clips like this, let me know, drop a comment.
Check it out here.

Would have been nice if Nothing Is asked if he could re post my album from Sounds at the Edge
I didn't realize that was your rip, Reza (I think I got this from your place a good while back). I'm happy to take down the link if you'd like.
Not necessary, not problem with you TN
The best movers huh? This sounded great when doing some house work. I usually listen to a lot of different types of music when doing chores or when studying. I guess it just helps me relax and ease my mind.
Were you moving your spirit house?
Glad to hear it helps the process...
