    Fabulous pressing!! I am surprised that these black label arista didn't get much love from the community. Absolutely agree that the P in the runouts is very very faint

        This is one heavy record. Angola, Louisiana transmits hard truths in a way that few other than Gil Scott-Heron could do. So thankful that this man made his music.
