Product Description

Gil Scott-Heron's "Spirits," released on January 5, 1994, under The Orchard label, is a compelling blend of spoken word and jazz funk that showcases the artist's unique storytelling prowess and musical versatility. This album is a testament to Scott-Heron's ability to weave poignant narratives with soulful melodies, creating a rich tapestry of sound and wordplay. With tracks like "Message To The Messengers" and "Work For Peace," Scott-Heron addresses social and political issues with his signature wit and insight, while "Lady's Song" and "Give Her A Call" offer a more personal and introspective look into the human experience. The three-part suite "The Other Side" is a standout, demonstrating Scott-Heron's ability to craft a cohesive and engaging musical journey. Clocking in at 56 minutes, "Spirits" is a powerful and thought-provoking listen that highlights Gil Scott-Heron's enduring influence on both spoken word and jazz funk genres.

This 2019 Reissue 2LP set is pressed on Red vinyl.

    This here's just the promo version, not the full album. But let me tell you, the production quality is absolutely top-notch. Definitely give it a listen!

    Fantastic pressing, featuring poly lined inner sleeves & a deluxe insert. Not a single hint of surface noise! 5/5

  • Missing Tracks, Get Repress

    4 out of 5 stars
    fanrekeli15 June 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm in agreement with the previous comment. The pressing is fantastic. Unfortunately, two tracks are missing (Work For Peace is particularly awesome). I don't believe this is due to it being a promo. There's no info about that on discogs and I can't recall if mine had a stamp on the back or not, I see this photo doesn't. However, the promo cassette includes all the songs. Occasionally, vinyl releases lack tracks that are present on CD or tape versions. Gang Starr's No More Mr. Nice Guy, Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo's Wanted Dead or Alive and Big Daddy Kane's It's A Big Daddy Thing and even the Above the Rim soundtrack come to mind. (I'm sure there are countless other examples.)I owned this back in the day but sold it, will get the recent repress to check out. It, thankfully, includes all of the tracks so I recommend anyone who wants this to check that out, esp. since it is new.

    I second what the other reviewer said. This pressing is fantastic. Unfortunately, it's missing two tracks, notably "Work For Peace," which is a great song. I don't believe this is due to it being a promo, as there's no indication of that on discogs, and I can't recall if my copy had a stamp on the back or not. I see this photo doesn't have one. However, the promo cassette includes all the songs. It's not uncommon for vinyl to be missing tracks that are present on CD or tape versions. For example, Gang Starr's "No More Mr. Nice Guy," Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo's "Wanted Dead or Alive," Big Daddy Kane's "It's A Big Daddy Thing," and even the "Above the Rim" soundtrack come to mind. (I'm sure there are many other examples.) I owned this back in the day but sold it, and now I'm planning to get the recent repress to check it out. Thankfully, it includes all the tracks, so I recommend anyone interested in this album to consider that repress, especially since it's new.
