Angela Davis Speaks - Original US Vinyl Issue

Rare 1971 US Folkways label 5-segment vinyl LP featuring an exclusive interview with Angela Davis done by her lawyer, Margaret Burnham, while she was jailed in NY and awaiting trial on the case of the Soledad Brothers in 1971.

This recording of Gil Noble's WABC-TV program, "Like It is", 'was arranged by the leading black newspaper at the time, Mohammed Speaks, and the questions were drawn from a poll conducted on what the average Harlem resident would ask Davis if given the chance. To these questions Davis is unapologetic and unwavering in her beliefs a "...There is nothing, absolutely nothing which could deter me from continuing to fight with all my energies for the freedom of my people.' Folkways Records

Vinyl has the blue and silver company labels and comes complete with an 8-page transcript of the interview/show - vinyl and booklet are housed in a sturdy back pasted picture cover.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Booklet)/VG++ (Cover):
Vinyl is close to perfect - still shiny and with a single inaudible hairline on one side. Perfect labels.
Booklet is near perfect with a slight bend to one corner - otherwise perfect.
Cover is still partially in shrink wrapping - beautifully very close to perfect with only very minor dents to corners and lower seam - a very nice copy.
