Gil Scott-Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (Vinyl LP)

Originally released in 1971, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is a landmark work of spoken word, soul and political expression, cementing Gil Scott-Heron as one of the most important cultural voices of the 20th century. Recorded live, the album captures the raw urgency of his performances, blending poetry, satire and social commentary with minimal musical backing.

Featuring the iconic title track “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”, alongside pieces such as “Whitey on the Moon”, “Home Is Where the Hatred Is” and “The King Alfred Plan”, the record confronts racism, inequality, media manipulation and systemic injustice with razor-sharp wit and unflinching honesty. Its influence stretches across hip hop, jazz, soul and protest music, shaping generations of artists and activists.

Pressed on standard black vinyl, this LP comes brand new and sealed, offering a powerful analogue presentation that preserves the immediacy and intensity of Scott-Heron’s words. An essential release for fans of conscious music, spoken word and socially engaged art.
