The Tempest Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Anybody know how many were pressed / advertising / how much did it contribute to the campaign / who first discovered / brought the album back over here ???? Quick story below : Activist, author and tenured professor. Former member of the Black Panthers and the Communist party. In 1970 was on the FBI's most wanted list. In 1970, Davis was implicated in an aborted prison escape in Northern California; she was accused of supplying the gun that killed four people during the incident. An intense police search drove her underground, and she became subject of a nationwide manhunt that resulted in 16 months of imprisonment. After an international "Free Angela Davis" campaign, she was acquitted of the charges in 1972. In 1969 she was removed from her teaching position at UCLA as a result of her membership of the Communist Party. Then-governor Ronald Reagan swore she would never teach in the University of California system again. Joined the Communist Party when Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968, and ran for U.S. Vice President on the Communist Party ticket in 1980.

John Benson Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Anybody know how many were pressed / advertising / how much did it contribute to the campaign / who first discovered / brought the album back over here ???? I don't know about who 'discovered' this LP, but back in the late 70's there were quite a few copies of this in a cut out shop in Doncaster - it was around the time Frank Dell's "He broke your game wide open" started getting played. I remember getting a copy of each album from there. So I'd assume it was just some importer who shipped them over along with other various LPs, not particularly someone brought this particular LP over. They were 50 pence ish or thereabouts as I recall? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

What was the name of the shop in Scarborough where we all got Skull Snaps and Voices of East Harlem L.P's in quantity from ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

That's sounds about right, but it was the one upstairs I was thinking of - didn't they also have one downstairs as well... or was that another shop? Can't say as I was aware of the Scarborough shop you mentioned - both my VOEH albums were market jobs and the Skull Snaps was from a dealer somewhere - maybe Snaith or around that time, that one cost me about a fiver though!

BRI PINCH SUNDAY CHILLOUT@HORSE AND GROOM, 25TH APRIL, EAST LAITH GATE, DONCASTER. Possibly Fox's Bri - They had two places didn't they? (One of them that just sold musical instruments) I'm sure it was an upstairs shop, I'll have to ask Dean Roach when I see him as I think he got one or both of these albums also. Actually I think he comes on here, maybe he'll reply? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
