Gil Scott-Heron – When You Are Who You Are / Free Will (Alt Take 1) 45 (BGP) 7″ Vinyl

One of the most important figures in Black American musical history has recently found himself selling women’s clothes with ‘When You Are Who You Are’ featuring on a major UK advert. We feel it is time to remind everyone how good the original –taken from the album ‘Pieces Of A Man’ –  is and give it its first ever release on a 45. We have backed it with an alternate version of the title track of his final album for Flying Dutchman, released on vinyl for the very first time.
