Very rare and iconic 45: The Jihad on Jihad Productions

[Gspluck]

The Jihad (Amiri Baraka & The Spirit House Movers) - Beautiful Black Women/Miss Natural Soul (Jihad Productions) Vg++/Ex OFFERS over £200

Socio-political spoken word/poetry (think lo-if Last Poets) with gorgeous male group harmony backing as ‘The Spirit House Movers’ deliver the refrain from Smokey Robinson’s ‘OOOH Baby, Baby’, almost a prototype of a musical genre that would not be seen for another decade. This 45 - and their very rare LP - are both culturally and socio-politically iconic and of course highly sought after.

The LP was reissued in CD format some years ago and more information on Amiri Baraka (formerly LeRoi Jones can be found by searching Google, a writer of poetry, drama and fiction who published a number of books and taught at several universities in the US).

This is one of, if not the, best looking copy of this 45 I’ve ever seen. While all copies have a pressing fault that causes surface hiss, this one is clean with no audible ticks or clicks on either side. A very very rare 45 with something like 4 ‘owners’ listed on Discogs and only two copies ever sold there (one in G condition and one in Vg+ at £450+) making this a difficult 45 to price hence am taking offers over £200. I will close once it’s reached a price I’m happy with.

Please note YouTube clips are NOT taken from the copy for sale, please contact me via DM if you would like clips of the actual 45.
