Notes

Back cover incorrectly lists "When The Revolution Comes" as track B5.
Gatefold sleeve with cover image rotated 90° (spine along bottom edge).
Printed company inner sleeve.

Recorded at Impact Sound Studio.
Distributed by Pip Records, 850 Seventh Avenue, N.Y., N.Y. 10019
A division of Pickwick International, Inc.

This version closely matches The Last Poets - The Last Poets, with a likely later label design which adds the perimeter text, and a slightly different cut on the inner sleeve. The handwritten 'DOUGLAS' in the dead-wax is identical, suggesting the 'M' and 'X' suffixes found here are later additions to the same mothers.

      I have a version that is non gatefold and has the lyrics as a xeroxed insert. Any ideas when this is from?
