Two tracks from Chicago’s mighty Salem Travelers from their brief time on the Chess subsidiary Checker in 1968
‘Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death’ is slightly slower with a Motown-styled backbeat behind a fist-pumping anthem that reels in its churchy roots and some great vocal interplay, a message song filled with emotion.
The B-side, ‘Tell It Like It Is’ goes for around £45 on seven, its follow up, an previously unheralded classic from the same year
Both tracks are a unique funky take on gospel
‘Tell It Like It Is’ is filled with wah wah guitar chops and some excellent lead breaks that spice up the conga-adorned upbeat; a heady song grasping for the truth
Two fantastic tunes from a transient ever-changing group who, in the 1960s and 1970s, were known for soulful harmonies, glass-shattering lead singing.
Typical of their repertoire of songs that provided social commentary on the troubles of the world from the war in Vietnam, drugs, violence, prejudice, civil rights and child delinquency. – Deptford Northern Soul Club
