Product Information
Black & White Marbled Vinyl / Insightful liner notes. CHARLY RECORDS present the first ever reissue of the sought-after, cult, New York, gospel street opera, Free The Black Man's Chains. The most intriguing, and certainly the most ambitious project on the city's GSF label (see more stunning titles on GSF exclusively from Charly). The project had it's roots in a trio of singles released by the mysterious Broad Street Gang in 1971. The first, on the Cougar label called "Fair Skin Man" and it's two follow-ups "L-o-v-e Love" and the title track from the album "Free The Black Man's Chains". Celebrated musicians on the sessions were Mitchell Rowe, Bobby Eli, Len Pakula, Daryl Hall, Ron Baker, Norman Harris, The Raelettes and strings arranged by Richie Rome. A project like Free The Black Man's Chains should have been perfect for the multi-media nature of GSF. The album could have led to a film in the way that it had for Jesus Christ Superstar, but instead like so many of the label's releases, the album failed to make it's mark due to a lack of promotion. GSF would barely reach it's second birthday before it - and it's parent company - shut down. A Black Opera
